This week went quite well. Total milage was 12.1 and on Sunday I ran the Charm City St. Patty’s Day 5k in Baltimore MD, Barefoot.
I began running completely and solely Barefoot on January 10th, 2010. Since then I have followed the 1/8th of a mile up to 3 miles and then the 10% rule up until last Thursday when I ran my furthest distance of 4.5 miles. 2 months in, my feet feel great and read more
I started this week happy from my success in completing a 5k earlier than my race next week. I was also excited because out of the gates, the week was looking to be warmer and that lifted my spirits.

Maybe, once the skin on my feet has hardened a little more, I could do this whole race barefoot.
