Day 3 of barefoot running blog. Still doing 2 mile runs barefoot on asphalt. Today was a banner day! 13:57 for 2 miles. Mile 1 7:15 and Mile 2 6:42. That's pretty much a record, even with shoes. I had one 5K at a faster pace, but it was mainly downhill.
This is fast, but I got a blister on my right foot, which seems to happen when I try to really burn it up barefoot. I'll take a blister for faster than 7 minute pace! Tomorrow, another 2 miles, then a day off, then I go to 2.5 miles! Maybe 3 if 2.5 is too easy. I was running 40 miles a week before barefoot, so this is quite a step down in mileage, but in about 3 months I should be back up to 7 or 8 mile runs, and they should be injury-free. Fingers crossed.
