Yep, as of this morning, I am officially a "Barefoot Weenie" (DO NOT confuse this with running naked!) ;-) I get all layered up to go for a walk on our gravel driveway, trying to maintain my minimal level of sole conditioning. Morning temp is 31 degrees. Frost on the ground. Dogs are happy as he!! to be running around. After about 400 feet, I can't take it anymore! My feet are hurting!! So I turn around, run in the grass beside the driveway (which is really frosty) back to the house. Put on my VFFs w/Injinji socks. Go back out, walk a mile with the dogs ('cause dogs DO NOT understand cold barefootin'), go inside and take the top off my trusty gravel tub, and start marchin'.
I don't know how you folks do it, but I know "I am not worthy". I kneel before you and accept my defeat, humbly. But at least my feet are warm. ;-)
Maybe I can get TJ to change my site name from "miker" to "Barefoot Weenie". Can't wait to see all the people who will want to be my Facebook friend then! ;-)
