I've stared to add some bfting to my regular running.  I've been stopping sort of in the middle, running for a bit, and then putting my shoes back on.  Mostly because there is a nice, grassy area just past the halfway mark.  So, what do you guys that are still shoeing and non-shoeing at the same time do with your shoes while you're barefooting?  I run a point to point route most days so I can't just leave my shoes somewhere.  I've been carrying them.  But that's super annoying.

I do one of two things usually.

 

I either take them off for the last mile or so of my run and carry them (as you say htough, this is annoying).

 

Or, I'll stop somewhere that I am gonig to pass again and drop them off and run BF.  In my case, my normal lunch route goes out and around a pond and then back, so I dump them on a friend's porch that happens to live next to teh pond. 

 

you could always dump the shoes somewhere towards teh end of the run and finish up BF, then drive back and get them later (and hope they are still there I guess).

 

Another option would be to run longer.  After you finish your point to point run, then take them off and do a BF run (or before you run).

Since I run on a paved trail that has lots of traffic I'm worried to leave them somewhere.  Maybe I'll try to come up with a loop to do before my run or tack something on the end...

Thanks for the ideas!

People look at me funny for running barefoot but I get even stranger looks with my shoes on my hands.  I can only imagine what they are saying 

I have a backpack for my dog.  He carried my shoes for me when I first started out.  He also carries "our" water in the summer.
