Week 2 of running some barefoot miles went well. Minimal soreness in my calves migrated gradually down towards my feet. Out of 22 total miles, 4.4 were barefoot. I keep wiggling my feet (not while I’m running) to see if they look more bony – I’ve always admired bony feet and never had them, and hope the barefoot running will help them look more muscular and bony.

So I have to say that this week I cheated. I managed to get in a 4 mile barefoot run on Tuesday but I had a 5k race scheduled for saturday and I know that I’m not quite ready for a true race totally barefoot so I had to cheat. I decided to wear my Vibram Five Fingers for the race on Saturday, instead of being barefoot. In order to make sure I would be ok (I haven’t worn any VFFs or read more
Quite a high mileage week for me at the moment despite the falling over incident.
All seems to be going well. Just one barefoot run of 3.1 miles on the road in the middle of the week. Feet coped pretty well with the familiar feet-friendly road surface.

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
My second week out of town and the week before my Quarter Marathon (6.56 miles) was one for the records. 18 total miles and a 9 mile long run that felt 7 miles plus a lifetime on the worst roads in Georgia. My first 2 runs of 5 and 4 miles respectfully were both fantastic. Had a bit of the calf issue, but hardly worth noting.
After 4 rock shows in 3 days, I was up for a 9 mile long run in Agusta, read more
