Okay, since last post, I ran 8 minutes barefoot on Friday, and 10 minutes on Sunday. Friday set a cold temp record, at 34 degrees. Sunday set a gravel record with 10 minutes on all crushed gravel.
Feet feel good, still a little sting on the sides from my injury, but getting back into the swing. Should be adding a mile a week, and back up to 4 or 5 miles by New Years', and double digits by next years' race season.

Back in barefeet!
Wow, my last post was Oct. 26 - and I haven't run barefoot since Oct. 17th! My recovery is really just beginning, and it's been a month since my wonderful & awful first barefoot 5K.
Well, my feet are finally healed on the side, pretty much. I can't believe it took a full month. Unfortunately, they are pink and very, very touchy. I have lost most of the callus buildup I spent months acquiring on my feet.
According to Gmap I ran a whopping .43 miles barefoot today, and felt every step. 3:53 for .43 miles, probably an 8:30 pace which sounds nice at this point. I then went on to run 3.2 miles in my VFF's, but I'm not counting that. BF mileage only. I don't think I'll run another BF race until next year, but let's hope I'm a little more prepared for that one. Over & out
