Part of me doesn't see how just a little bit of barefoot work each day will eventually get me to the point of running half marathons or more! But since I know others have done it, I'll just keep at it.  I can tell that my feet can go further without hurting so that helps.  I still have to constantly remind myself to relax my feet when I'm walking or standing - I always have my lateral feet pulled down and the medial sides pulled up.  That has been my focus over the weekend while walking all over at work, going on a Sunday walk, etc.  Don't ask me why I ever got into that habit!  No wonder why I was always getting injured. 

I go to Crossfit tomorrow for another intro class.  I have to do 3-6 intro classes this week before I can go whenever I want, which I'm anxious for.  My right foot is almost completely healed and I need something to keep me entertained and tired! =0)

Nice healing and patience with the program Brooke! I know you'll come out stronger.
