Week Seven…..

Has it been only seven weeks? Feels like I was born with barefeet.

Total weekly miles: 10 miles

Total BF miles: 10 miles

Barefoot Sessions: 5

Terrain: Mostly asphalt, but also trails.

My barefoot miles are purely barefoot at this time.

Weather: Warm.

Condition of Feet: Left foot has made up some serious ground. I don’t limp anymore. Feet were good, but am experiencing capsulitis, which I at first mistook for blisters.

Comments: Smiles and polite interest.

Nasty things: Nothing gross while running, but I mowed the lawn BF and stepped on about four large slugs. The grass turned my feet green and they wouldn’t come clean!

Changes in Running Style: The form has been nothing but smooth this week, but I am finding it difficult preventing sore plantars.

Injuries: Capsulitis on the second metatarsal.

Wisdom McNuggets: This week I learned 1. a high cadence can eliminate many problems. 2. pavement can be fun as well as challenging.
