Sunday: 5.5mi run with Max on bike.  Weather was good, sidewalks were a bit pebbly and twigs and bits of tree had blown down on the path. Feet were a little sensitive going over that, but good feeling overall. Recovery, great!

Monday: 2miles on the treadmill in my minimal shoes (adizero racing flats)

Thursday: 5mi barefoot run after the rain, pushing the jogger. No rawness, no blisters. Good run! read more

Started the week off with a nice sunny, albeit windy, 6 miler. Run was good, took it very slow for the first 3mi or so running with hubby and kids. Then when we went separate ways, I took off and probably ran faster than I should have. By about 5.5mi my left foot was hurting, ir was on the sides of my foot before my heel. It felt too good to go fast, and I forgot that I’m still not ready for read more

Sunday: Starting the week off with a 5mi evening barefoot run. New route, well old route, but newly barefooted route. Good one! Definitely run it again. Feet felt great during and after the run. Find I run on the painted road lines whenever possible, love the way that feels!

Monday: 2.5mi socks on treadmill before belly dance. Fast run 7.0-7.6mph increasing speed every mile or so.

Wednesday: 12.5mi read more

Monday 2mi sock run on treadmill.  Easy, quick run

Wednesday: 11.5mi long run, barefoot. Feet were great until about mile 9 or so..then the rawness and overstimulation kicked in and I felt every little pebble. Good run overall, feet recovered very quickly

Saturday: Wow, PR feel good barefoot run! No clue my exact distance somewhere around 6.5-7mi of pure bliss..Started off with dh and kids, running read more

good run, felt strong going out (again against the wind 24mph, 30mph gusts…it’s relentless this week)

Feet started to get tender around mile 5 or so, the chipseal bike path makes for some raw/tender soles. Overall good run, feet are getting stronger…just waiting anxiously for plantar skin to toughen a bit more to withstand the chip seal/rough pavement/pebbles etc.

Pushing a new jogger now, it’s a single and doesn’t have a swivel wheel. Makes for an interesting run.

Went out against the wind (on the way out), 22mph and gusts at 30mph…rough way out, smooth sailing back in. Overall good run, feet felt excellent during and afterward.
