Been gone a long while. I sorta burned out for a while due to illness and non-running injuries. I also must admit: I was afraid to try running in the winter for the first time. I am not worthy of being a BF runner

The day my mocs got wet was an unpleasant day. Yuck. The feet got wet, cold, and pruny. I took off the mocs as I was finishing my errands. Last stop that day: my son works at the local DQ and I stopped by to pick up an ice cream cake I ordered for a different son’s birthday. “Mom you CAN’T go in there barefoot!” I explained to him that I was NOT going to put the mocs back on my uncomfortable feet and if he didn’t want me going in there barefoot then he could go get my cake even if it was his day off!

We are in Florida about to put on the first Naked Foot 5k on an east coast beach. Santa Barbara broke in the west coast last May in what was the first of all of the national runs. Steve Shomo, who is pretty active on this site is our local race director and he has done an awesome job. We are expecting a great turnout and the course might be the best to date. There are trails and beach, need I say more. We are doing a beach clean up for packet pick up to give back to the local natural environment so that should be a pretty cool way to kick things off.

Ok, maybe thats a little dramatic... Its still about 34 hours until the gun blows in Huntsville Texas, and myself, Bubba Hotep, and Not So Doomed Runner are off on a 50 mile adventure. Its actually not so bad if I put it that way!
Heres my latest blog post about it.

So my weekly mileage has taken a distinct upturn -thanks to trail runs. This is the way I like to increase my mileage -more or less by accident. My legs are rarely sore after running, though the last trail run I did, they were unusually sore. It was only about a mile longer than the last ones we did. We must have gone up and down more hills this time.

Well, its going on the 3rd month since I decided to run. I am feeling proud that Im still in this. Its not that the running is hard--but the training..... there is definately a mental battle that I fight all the time. Its mostly about being PATIENT. Once I get a few minutes into a session, I never want to stop. I love exercising. Thats what got me into trouble.

I published this article on my blog: Story of a Barefoot Runner in addition to www.myfivefingers.com and www.barefoot-running.us. Now I'm calling out to the BRS members for help on a great project!

February, a fresh month. Amazing progress. Two months ago I was not able to bear my own weight on my own bare feet! BRS was one of the resources I found that helped me transition from shod-with-support to unshod. I did not join at first because I found it hard to believe I’d ever be able to run barefoot! I didn’t even want to try.

We interrupt your regularly schedule programming with a guest blog!
A good friend of mine from high school shared this story with me, and I immediately knew it was blog worthy, just based how much I was laughing. So, I had to share her story with you.. enjoy!
