Well I have gone as far as I ever have today @ 6 miles. No blisters, no blood, LOTSA TENDERNESS!! I worked up tp 5 miles real slow with not much discomfort the plan today was 5.5. Out and back I got tothe 2.75 point and said what the hell hit the 3 mile mark and head back. BOY OH BOY what a difference a mile makes barefoot! FEET OF FIRE!
Its funny I can run 6 miles now but I am still reluctant to do even a 5k race BF. By nature I am kind of a recluse and I hate the attention I get when running barefoot during training, nevermind a race. I had considered Aquasox for a race but I said I would give the Barefoot thing a full year and decide if it is for me. I would hate to throw on something on my feet just for a race and come up with blisters because I did not train in them.
You may say just train for the race in them. The problem is I am now working 12 - 14 hours a day and what ever chance I get to run I want to be BF to keep my feet in shape. I hope this don't sound to nutty
Any and all input is appreciated
