Because I took pretty much the whole winter off, I'm starting over from scratch with the plantar skin toughness. (To be completely honest, I took the winter off from any exercise at all, so my cardio fitness level took a big hit too.) In one way though, I'm happy about it because spending the...

In training for my first barefoot half marathon, I ran 5 miles last week (longest distance to date barefoot). Unfortunately I got my first blisters after 3 months and 40 miles of barefooting. I gave my feet about a week to recover - I didn't want to drain the blisters lest Iget an infection on...
Just checking out the blog option, suppose I could blog what went down today regarding barefooting.

I really have enough blogs (I own 4-- only two ever get updated), but I've never really written about barefoot running. Probably because I'm not very good at it. If I really think about it though, I'm not very good at the other things I blog about either, so that shouldn't stop me.
Anyway...
