Yesterday I decided to go for about a two mile run in a local place called the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve. They have a pedestrian path through a sort of natural area.
Anyway, after my run, the skin on both my feet felt extremely sensitive, raw & basically just tender to the touch. I felt like I left the outer layer of dermis back on that path and all I had left was the inner layer. Oh and certain parts of my foot (places without the extra thick skin) were bright red.
Could this be because it's getting warmer outside? It was around 60-ish and the sun did warm up the path in certain places. Could I be too used to the cold somehow? Is it possible I got a little bit of a burn on a concrete path at those temps, or maybe I just ruffed up my skin a bit too much?
There was also a place where I had to run downhill and that did seem to put a lot of wear and tear on my skin (I felt it at the time but didn't think much of it). I sort of had to stop my momentum with every step or else clobber into the people in front of me. I didn't want to pass them in case they would just end up passing me later.
Does anyone else experience this type of very sensitive skin thing come up all of the sudden? I mean I've had it before, but I really thought I could do just two miles without issue.
Also, it's mostly feeling better the next day (today). It's still sensitive down there but nothing like it was right after the run. I really haven't experienced that sensation since the very first few times I ever went barefoot running. And that was when I went too far and learned my lesson about taking it slow (little blood spots where I tore my skin completely away due to going too far too soon).
