Hello there! I have been running barefoot for exactly 4 days and I am totally hooked. What I lack in experience, I make up for in enthusiasm!! I came to BF running because I have always suffered from injuries in one for or another and just refuse to give up. Anything is better than periformis syndrome, IT band issues, back pain, etc...so I will take a little bit of achilles/foot soreness, no problem! The second I went from a walk to a jog on my treadmill, I felt this huge grin spreading across my face and honestly, the feeling has stayed with me. Here's hoping it lasts, because I feel great! I live in the state of Rhode Island and have never seen another soul running barefoot, so I look forward to meeting like-minded individuals!
