Hi everyone,
What a cool site bfr.org is! I stumbled across barefootkenbob's web site about a month ago and was immediately intrigued. So decided to give bfr a try. I have almost always lived near the coast in Florida so going bare foot is not that alien to me but the only place I had ever run bare foot until a month ago was on the beach and I never really noticed or thought about the advantages or disadvantages. I have run off and on since high school but have not run much at all in quite a few years so just getting back to it. I have run three times on sidewalks/street surfaces the past 30 days for 15-30 minutes and so far so good. I'm taking it real slow and easy, letting my feet toughen up a bit. One of the first things i noticed running bare foot is NO knee pain! Which I've had quite a bit in my previous running experience.
Enough rambling, I live in Satellite Beach and look forward to meeting up and running with some of you.
Cheers.
