Hello! Just started running barefoot this September and was not a runner in the past. It all started after some long barefoot walks on the local trails in the evenings after work. I began running during these walks for added exercise and enjoyed running over the walking. After doing TMTS I had some fairly sore feet and had to take a break and scale back the running distance a bit. I had built up my distance to 2 miles but would be a bit sore after running this far. During an evening run in the dark I stepped on a couple of rocks on the palm of my right foot (apparently bruising it some) I decided to take a break for awhile as the weather is colder now anyway. Cant wait for spring and might do some treadmill running to keep my legs/feet in shape so Im not starting over in the spring.
Running barefoot appears to be addictive and I find it easy to over do it wanting to build up more distance. The body is good at giving fair warnings though as when its time to back off some!
Havent seen anyone else run barefoot here. Locals may think Im crazy! Who knows maybe I'll get others interested and I wont be the only person seen running barefoot.
