Howdy ya'll! Well, after 6 days of running I went over a 100 miles today, so far for the week. Ran a 20 miler at the track today in 90 degree heat at a 9:49...
News Flash! Barefoot Rick ran 103 miles from June 26 - July 2, setting a new weekly barefoot mileage personal best. Read how BR beat the heat and had fun doing...
In order to create sort of a team endeavor that we can all play, let's start doing a round-up of weekly barefoot miles and see how it grows. Rules (or...
Doesn't matter how little or how much you ran barefoot. POST 'EM!!! "A mile is a terrible thing to waste [or not to count]" Barefoot Rick: 74.45 miles ...
I just joined the group and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Doug and I run 4-5 days a week 7-8 miles at a time. I just started barefoot running in the...
Doug, You sound not unlike a lot of us who came to barefoot running. Not all of us have the same reasons, for there are many such as knee problems (me), desire...
Hot mileage! Most runs were done during the heat of the day. 60.6 barefoot miles for the week http://barefootrunner.org/06weeklymileage/weekending7-16-06.htm ...

I am a barefoot newby with a total of 11.8 miles under my belt (prior to today). I did walk significant distances barefoot to build up my feet prior to my...
Hi Doug, I was waiting to see if maybe Ken Bob or Jon would answer, but since they are obviously out barefoot running, then I will ... Goals are great! Just...
Thanks Rick. I am definitely a guy who listens to his body--in this case my feet. I have progressed from running barefoot 1.4 miles in one run week #1, to...
Hello all, This is my first post as a group member. I am also a new to barefoot running this year. Doug...I would say a gradual increase would be best learning...
Thanks for the comments Bob. Thus far, I have gotten more blisters from running in FiveFingers than running barefoot. I seem to be more susceptible to...
Hi Bob! It is very easy to push too far too fast. It's easy for those of us who have been doing this for a while to say not to push it, but, in truth I was...
Rick: Thanks for sharing how your barefoot journey began. As I have been running barefoot only a short time, it's easy for me to begin second-guessing what I ...
Doug, I am impressed. Keep up the good work. BTW - Excellent pace. (Been a while since I ran 7:23 pace!) BR ... running ... guessing what I ... me that ... be ...
Thanks Rick. Just back from my 4th barefoot day in a row of running 2 miles (7'15" pace today). I may run 5K tomorrow. Saturday I will run 8-10 miles with...
I have finished my barefoot goal for this work week: running 2 miles each of the 5 days. In the end, I decided not to switch to 5K on the 5th day in order to...
Excellent week, Doug. As for next week ... hmmmm ... maybe just the same thing again? Or, maybe increase every other day by a half mile or so? BR ... the ... ...
It was one of those wind-down, taper weeks before tomorrow's marathon. I may have ran my hottest run ever yesterday, barefoot or shod, here in Salt Lake City....
I tentatively decided to run 5K for 5 days this week, take Friday off, and then run 7-10 miles Saturday in FF. Sunday went well and I made it today also....

Congratulations Rick. BTW--nice tan. My wife gets a great tan also; I however, do not. It's nice that you and your wife got in some sight-seeing. Life is...
Ya know, I kind of wish I would have had FF when I started out. I probably wouldn't have had to revert to duct tape when taping up my blisters! HA! Great job,...
Cutting back to 2.5 mile runs for 5 days next week is a great idea Rick. The 2.5 miles marker is just were I start feeling my feet as limitations. Thanks for...
Okay, last week two runners checked in with their barefoot mileage (me and Doug) for a total of 56 miles: Average per runner = 28 miles per last week ... This...
