Hello from Minnesota!

Hello all!

I'm here in Minnesota and I've been running in VFF's for a while and am starting to kick those off.

This morning was my first outdoor barefoot run in over a year due to a non-running related injury.

Felt great, even though it's not what a seasoned runner would consider an impressive distance or time

Welcome...don't worry about any distance/speed its all about the running enjoyment !!

Welcome! I think most seasoned runners would be impressed by any distance done barefoot.

Thanks for the welcome!

i figure first time barefoot in a year and covered 1.25 miles in just under 12:30, with only a minor sore spot from forgetting to lift-off and not push-off (easy to forget wearing VFF's on a treadmill...). I could probably have done another couple laps, as it felt great, but i want to tighten up my form a bit first so i can safely do longer distances.

Good plan, and great progress! Welcome to the crew - we're glad to have you with us. Take it slow and easy, and enjoy. More will come with time. Only injury will come if you rush it. "You rush the miracle man, you get a bad miracle." - Miracle Max (Billy Crystal) in "The Princess Bride"
