Rick,
Just got back from a camping trip...didn't have the laptop handy to check in.

mountains...many were too rough for 100% barefoot.

Have a great week,
Bob

I did my entire taper week barefoot this week....28 miles (PR).  And included in that 28 is my longest BF run to date of 9 miles.  All miles were asphalt and concrete.

TJ - My 9 miles was TOUGH...you doing 10 is pretty impressive.  I still have a long ways to go.

TJ,

 

You are progressing much faster than myself. My longest bf run is now 8 miles and I started switching to bf running over 2 years ago! I normally run 6 days a week now and have gone over 40 miles for a week once so far. I have ran only 4 times this week (after my upcoming run this morning) so my report will be much less than 40 for this past week.

 

You are doing great.
Have fun; God bless,

Mike R

I have 21.86 miles for this past week, with my long run being 10.06.  Not where I wish I was at this time in the effort, but patiently, I am getting there.  Any encouraging words would be extremely helpful and appreciated.

Quite a week for me.  I did my present long run - a 10+ mile route
mostly along a tree lined bike path - on 5 days this week.  I might be
able to extend my long run if I didn't keep doing this one every day,
but it's such a joy.  Then today, I ran three times to get my "long
run" in for the week.  During the mid-day heat the pavement was too
hot for me to go barefoot so I wore my VFFs, but in the evening I went
out for another 5+ barefoot.  That made for 26 miles today, about 15.5
barefoot.  A daily best.

All told, 57 barefoot miles.  Another weekly best.

A 10 miler is fantastic for your relatively new status, Tamara. Be encouraged ... you are doing well!!!   Thanks for how you've fit right in with the rest of us bf runners. You've been a great addtion to our group!   Thanks for the miles!    -----Original Message----- From: BarefootRick@yahoogroups.com [mailto:BarefootRick@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of greginatorusaf Sent: Saturday, June 27, 2009 10:45 PM To: BarefootRick@yahoogroups.com Subject: [BarefootRick] Re: Weekly Barefoot Mileage - WE 6/27 & 6/28/09   TJ, I know the mileage doesn't seem that impressive to you, but lets take a closer look at your long run. Think about how far 10 miles really is and the fact that you ran that far, barefoot. Many people couldn't walk that far even in shoes, but you ran it barefoot. Just remember, your patience is going to pay off in the long run because progressing no faster than the rate your body is ready for is what keeps you healthy and keeps you running. Just think of when you're 85 years old and the circles you're gonna still be able to run around many 20 year olds because you listened to your body now at did what was best for it. Keep up the good work. ps. 15 miles for me this week.  --- On Sat, 6/27/09, Tamara Gerken <soupie@numail.org> wrote: From: Tamara Gerken <soupie@numail.org> Subject: [BarefootRick] Weekly Barefoot Mileage - WE 6/27 & 6/28/09 To: BarefootRick@yahoogroups.com Date: Saturday, June 27, 2009, 9:16 PM I have 21.86 miles for this past week, with my long run being 10.06.  Not where I wish I was at this time in the effort, but patiently, I am getting there.  Any encouraging words would be extremely helpful and appreciated.   Thanks,   TJ Nike Free Version 0

Doug,

It has been a pleasure watching your progress over the past 3 years. You have
consistently been out there ... day after day ... week after week ... ramping up
the bf mileage. I think I can speak for everyone that has been around for a
while, and even for those who are just starting out, how much we appreciate your
contributions to this group.

Blessings on your continued barefoot journey, bro!

Rick

All:

 

This is my 155th week of running barefoot. In that time, I have logged 4024.5 miles.  My range has increased from a mile at a time 3 days a week to 10 miles at a time 3-5 days a week.  I remember back to the time that 5 miles at a time were my limit and I never thought I could run 10 miles barefoot and actually have feet that felt fine immediately after the run.  But those days have arrived. 

 

The best thing that I have learned in nearly 3 years is the importance of pacing and listening to your body.  It is this lesson that has enabled me to run over 4000 miles in 3 years.

 

It turns out that I will be celebrating my 156th week of running this coming week in my home town.  Thus, as I will be traveling with no internet access, I decided to get my miles for this week, number 155, in early:

 

40 miles

 

It has been an interesting journey, and this forum has played an important role in it.  I appreciate the fact that there are others, like myself, who have chosen to run barefoot.  This has been important grounding for my psyche and I am in debt to all of you for this.

 

Thank you,

 

 

Doug

Happy birthday, Julian!
