Hi all - I'm not new - I just "fell off the wagon" for the last 18-months or so. I had been running BF 5k several times a week, with my max up to 6 miles or so. I got sidetracked with "life", but I'm hoping to get back into the routine.
I recently re-started walking 1-mile barefoot with no issues, and plan on mixing in a few 1/4 mile runs until my legs, lungs and feet get back in shape. I'm always barefoot at home and continue to wear very minimal work shoes, so I think I've been able to maintain at least a little of my former foot strength.
I just committed myself to a 5k fun run with some freinds at the end of October, so hopefully this will motivate me to get back into it. The thought of being the "wierd guy" with no shoes is extra motivation.
