Easy 10 miles on the trail in very minimal flats. Stayed on the soft shoulder today and it definitely payed off in dividends. My legs don't even feel as if they ran today for the most part. Pulled over into some nice shady trees and switched out of the treads. I then started my slightly crazy barefoot running experiment. Set the limit for 3 minutes just to start out on the safe side. But wait a minute maybe I should be doing this on grass perhaps I told myself? Oh well... it was interesting and also fun but this is going to take some time to get used to for sure.

My favorite way to barefoot run besides the beach, is find a big plush soccer field and run right after they have finished watering it. The cool water on your feet feels great.

I think you are smart to start with very short increments... even 1-2 minutes, or just some strides mixed up with walking. Its all about learning the form / technique.

Rob-That sounds so good right now. Then again anywhere damp and cool sounds good!

Jake-So right.. Baby steps.

Also over time I've heard where it has actually reduced the shoe size of one of the top US runners. Supposedly strengthened and brought his arches up higher where before he was considered to be flat footed. Just can't recall his name off the top of my head.
