I ran this morning, and it was 57 degrees. That's by far the coldest barefoot run I've done of any length. I was barefoot for about 3 miles. And you know what? The sidewalk felt pretty cold to me! I'm a slow runner, so my feet even felt just a smidge numb, which I felt slightly compromised my form.
It's gonna get a LOT colder. Even though I'm not in a really cold area, I remember last winter (when I was shod) that it was sometimes in the 30s when I was running. I probably won't try to go barefoot on those colder days; I grew up in Arizona and am just not that used to cold weather! But I'd like to keep my feet bare on some of the warmer winter days.
So my question is, will my feet get used to the cold? Or am I just a baby?
