    2019 Mileage Club

    After a terrific start to 2019, I suffered an injury in March which limited my running and walking for a few months. After starting to rebound, I broke my big toe during a trail race on December 7 and had to stop running and walking for the rest of the year (and January and most of February)...

    2015 Mileage Club

    Finally broke the 500 mile barrier for running for the first time since I started running barefoot. Finished with a total of 567.9 miles logged in running and walking. 459.3 miles were barefoot. As I barely ran from March to October, I think I can do a lot more, and I've set a goal of 750...

    Run Hard Columbia Marathon 07March2015

    My feet held up well, but they were very tender after the race. I took a week off from running and walking to rest my whole body (not just my feet). I've only run or walked relatively short distances the past few days. My feet are still a little tender but not enough to avoid running barefoot...

    Black Mountain Marathon 28Feb2015

    Black Mountain Marathon By Wanderingoutlaw This past Saturday I ran the Black Mountain Marathon in North Carolina. It's known affectionately as the "fun run" companion to the Mt. Mitchell Challenge, which is an approximately 40 mile run from Black Mountain, NC to the summit of Mt Mitchell...

    Engaging the big toes?

    I've actually started making an effort to ensure that my big toes are engaging. The Morton's Toe thread in the Health section of the forum hints that those of us with Morton's Toe do not engage our big toe enough and use the second toe too much. Hopefully it will help my barefoot running.

    How did you find the BRS?

    I drove over to see Ken Bob. Of course, it was great to meet you, too, even though I didn't know who you were at the time. I stayed with a friend who I don't get to visit often enough; he lived in Alpharetta at the time.

    How did you find the BRS?

    When Barefoot Ken Bob was in Peachtree, GA, for his 2010 summer tour, Barefoot TJ told me (and everyone else) about BFRS. I joined shortly after but have been inconsistent in visiting the site.

    Fellowship of the Morton's Toe

    I don't know how many times I've overlooked this topic over the past four years but I sure wish I'd read it back in 2010. I never would have guessed that Morton's Toe could be the reason for the callus that won't go away (after five years of barefooting) and the pain and tenderness in that same...

    2014 Mileage Club

    I still haven't managed to run/walk 500 miles in a calendar year since switching to barefoot (with a little minimalism). 2015 looks like it will be the year, though! This year was 401 miles barefoot running, 31.1 miles barefoot walking/hiking, 43.3 miles minimalist running (mostly huaraches...

    Running 'The Mile'

    I like the mile distance. The only problem is there are so few 1-mile races. I know of only one in my hometown and it's part of a summer track series. A local running store (who also host the summer track series) tried to set up a series of three or four 1-mile races two or three years ago...
