Hi everyone, I just joined this forum as I've been looking into barefoot running. I'm 17 and can count on one hand the number of times I've been running out of my own free will. I decided I wanted to start and since I'm not used too much to running with shoes, decided it would be the best time to try barefoot running. I went out last night for my first run, planning on running a quarter-half mile. I ended up running about a mile and half around my neighborhood. I know it was too much too soon, but I enjoyed it too much to stop lol! Now when I got home, me feet were stinging every step I took right on my forefoot. Sure enough, I developed 2 different blisters on each foot right below my big toes and a couple splinters one of which was easy to remove. Is this normal? I know I should have started with less, but it was too fun! Are these blisters common when you first start? And should I wait to run again till they heal? Cuz right now it hurts like heck to walk on them (a good amount less today though than last night). Any input would be awesome! Thanks much!
