It's Sunday February 21st. It has been really cold and snowy this year, much more than in previous years. The temps are suppose to reach high 50's, low 60's today. It's as good a day as any to put the five fingers back on and try barefoot running again. At first I was concerned that the concrete path in the park would be too cold for my feet in the five fingers. I was suprised to find out that is was really not as cold on my feet as I had thought it would be.
This time I decided to be smarter about going barefoot. The local trail is marked off in quarter mile sections so I decided that I would only run a quarter mile and walk another mile and a half. At the quarter mile marker my legs and feet felt good and I considered running longer but decided to stop and walk. It's a good thing I stopped because my calf muscles were a little sore the next day but nothing to scream about.
Rain and cold returned the next two days and that has kept me from running again. But it has given my legs time to adjust to going barefoot.
