No barefooting, but lots of thinking about it.

Low and behold, when I get to work I see a friend of mine has sent me an email detailing a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.inov-8.com\/News-Detail.asp?NID=307&amp;L=26\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">personal message<\/a> that Christopher McDougall sent the head designer of Inov8 shoes.

This was the track that made my feet quite sore after 4 laps before. This time, it was much better, and 2 hours later, the soles of my feet don&#8217;t feel as if they&#8217;ve done any barefoot running today \u2014 the feet seem to be getting used to it! Long way to go still, but today is the first time I feel like I might, one day, be able to run barefoot for a good few miles without ripping my feet to shreds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A fun filled day today, starting with a gentle hilly jog to work of 7.6 miles.
