fallout from yesterday’s barefoot run

I woke up this morning with SO much soreness in my lower calves I could barely (hehe) walk! However, reading up on the bulletin boards provided by Ken Bob Saxton and Barefoot Rick, I found this to be very normal so I’ll carry on!

Heh, heh. Its just like starting all over again. :) Man, I have GOT to get out and run on the dirt. I know you said the asphalt didn’t hurt, but I think I want to start on dirt first and move to asphalt slowly. Maybe after the trail race. I don’t know.

Good job jumping into this, Mark. Can’t wait until your first race!

Just curious – will you be changing the photos at the side to photos sans shoes??

Thanks Jon. I truly learned more about how bad my form is in that half hour of barefoot running than I have in years of running in shoes. I have to admit that with the BFR and POSE stuff, I have also become UBER-excited thinking about my next race – whenever that happens!

Keith: We shall see. We shall see! ;)

I just noticed your photos says ‘Winter’ and ‘kelowna’…bad Northern Albertan! You will make folks think that we have no summer at all when in reality we get a good 2-3 weeks of it! LMBO ;) can you tell I’m cheeky today? Stick with it, barefoot buddy and btw the grass is much nicer than ashphalt…not sure how you do that!
