I've been doing some short distances in the middle of my regular run but yesterday I did my first complete bf run! It was awesome! I got a pair of VFF over the weekend since the pavement is about 4000 degrees. They worked out great! I really want to go out for a longer run today but I don't want to over do it. Plus I think I have strep so that would be bad.

But I'm looking forward to my next bf run! Woohoo!

Congrats! I'm still trying to fit more in each week but since I have lots of races coming up I'm waiting until I'm done with those to cut back more runs and do them barefoot. But the little I have done has helped me to reduce my heel striking tendencies by a huge amount.

Ashley Goals: 1)Get my IT Band to cooperate! 2) Run lots of trails.
