I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth. I couldn’t get WordPress to work at all a few weeks ago and finally figured out I still had some remnants of the AV Security Virus on my computer. Now that’s taken care of, hopefully I can update a little more.
Total weekly miles: 12
Running sessions: 4
Total barefoot miles: 0
BF sessions: 0
Surface: asphalt, grass, gravel
Runs in minimalist shoes: all
Weather: 89-95 with 75%-80% humidity
Feet condition: Starting to get lots of blisters on my tips of my toes, but I’ve been running only in VFF’s. I did run home in my Nike Free’s a few weeks ago and it was torture! And awkward just trying to land right in those things. Today I had to run through some wet grass on my run and my toes ended up getting some blisters which is weird because I’ve never really had that happen before even though my VFF’s were soaked at one point. Barefooting…lately it’s just been hard for me to find an area to run. Mostly side roads with a little traffic but if a car comes, I have to hop into the ditch on the side, which is usually filled with huge rocks and the occasional beer bottle. The heat also isn’t helping. My last run I tried barefoot I ended up making it about half a mile before my soles were so hot I couldn’t take it 🙁 Plus a tiny shard of glass got stuck in my callous. So in short, barefooting hasn’t progressed too much for me I’m sad to say. I think I’ll keep trying it once it stops being in the 90’s during my runs.
