Today I went for a .85 mile jog in my bare feet! I did not go on the grass somewhere, but in the street. Some people sitting outside yelled out to me "You forgot your shoes". Another lady walking her dog asked me, "Does it hurt". And really, it does not. I've read a lot about the benefits of how your running form improves dramatically, as well as your ability to improve the strength of your foot, ankle, and lower legs.
I really liked this jog and I think that i might just consider doing a barefoot run every week like this just for the heck of it. In fact, most elite athletes do a barefoot warm up and cool down for every workout they do (in shoes).
Tomorrow I will try and do 10x400 intervals! woo hoo!

I've been intrigued by the idea of running barefoot for some time now. After my next race I'm thinking about trying some runs on the treadmill barefoot to see how I do.
