I've been barefoot running for about a year, and the other day was the first time someone said something to me that made me laugh. I was running a 6 mile loop on the shoulder of a pretty busy road bf with my camelbak, and a woman stopped her car in the road to say something to me. I assumed she would ask for directions or something like that, but she said, "Are you OK. Did something happen to you?". It took a second to figure out what she was talking about, and I said, "No, I'm just running barefoot". She looked mad and drove away.
So this made me wonder, do I really look like I just got mugged when I run? Maybe I should get some new running gear.
Anyway, I'd like to hear if anyone else has some odd tales about other people reacting to barefoot runners.
