What can I say, I'm impatient.
It's not that I don't trust or believe the experts, but it' that these shoes are just so much fun that I get carried away. So when I found myself in the middle of an awesome and muddy trail 6K from home, I only briefly worried that I'd wake up the next morning not able to walk.
(What me and my Merrell's looked like at the 9K mark of a 12K trail run)
But you know what? I felt awesome - just a little bit of tightness in my calves that stretching, water and foam rolling has almost beaten. (Which is good, because my ass and my calves are going to get beaten up this weekend during the Creemore Vertical Challenge).
I credit my success so far to three awesome bloggers:
- Vanessa Runs, all round kick ass barefoot runner and has answered all of my questions
- Jason Robillard of Barefoot Running University, who suggested that maybe my form and lacing should be adjusted when I complained that my feet were sliding a little bit
- Trisha Reeves and her blog post on how to find your mid foot. With all the talk about mid foot strike I kept thinking that meant the balls of my feet (no, it's not). Finally after reading this post I knew where to try and land.
But I think what I absolutely love the most is that all of these runners are so generous with their expertise. We've never met, in theory, there is no value to them in giving me free advice, but they are also so in love with natural and barefoot running that it is a joy to be able to help out a newbie like me.

I just started running a few weeks ago and I cannot believe how much I am actually enjoying it. Those shoes you're wearing sound pretty daggone comfortable! I bought a pair of Brooks running shoes and they've been working for me so far *fingerscrossed* :)
awesome that you are doing well!! When I first started going barefoot I didn't go as slow and steady as was suggested. I went based on how I was feeling. I went from half a mile to 15 barefoot the first four months. Good summer that was :)
Happy running!
I never realized you referred to me on this post. Thanks!!
