This is my second winter in New England running barefoot. Last year was much more mild and I didn't have much trouble. With the snow we've gotten I've been trying to find places that are safe to run.
I ran in a park today with the temperature around 32 F. I only ran about 3 miles today. There was a lot of rock salt and gravel on the road, but it was not any worse than other times I ran this year.
When I was done and I took a shower it looked like someone rubbed sand paper over the bottoms of my feet. They were rough and the skin was like it is after you soak it for a long time.
Do road chemicals damage feet and if that's the case than how can you run in the winter, forget the cold?
