You are the reason ...You cant stop publishing now!<br /><br />You are the reason I am going to try minimal/barefoot running, even though I do carry around a "little" excess weight.<br />Truly inspirational:-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01518582568409549609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185746658033937532.post-33701240086295820412012-06-19T19:29:48.060-07:002012-06-19T19:29:48.060-07:00Dear Ken of RunWith, I was very happy to see your...Dear Ken of RunWith, I was very happy to see your comment. I am here, and I am still barefoot running, and I have tales to tell and photos to post. There isn't a day when I don't think that I must get back to my poor neglected blog. I HAVE been doing fun other things along with barefoot running, so there has been less time to blog. You have encouraged me to continue my story. Stay tuned. (I've been admiring your photos of swimmers on FB, btw. Nice stuff!)Avocational Singerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15322495001387001602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185746658033937532.post-43291201451215541362012-06-19T10:26:26.755-07:002012-06-19T10:26:26.755-07:00Barefoot Fresca--
Where....oh where have you been...Barefoot Fresca--<br /><br />Where....oh where have you been?<br /><br />I've successfully avoided injury this year and have been pleased to run many races barefoot...and many quiet solo runs bf as well. But the road tells me it is MISSING Barefoot Fresca!<br /><br />Hope you've been well and (hard as this is for my mind to conceive) enjoying some OTHER activity this spring.<br /><br />Perhaps you are running but not blogging. In that case...may every step you run be filled with Joy.<br /><br />(And if you're not running now, my wish is that you're enjoying something EVEN BETTER than running bf! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185746658033937532.post-29700122959913622632012-02-17T06:12:20.218-08:002012-02-17T06:12:20.218-08:00Staci, I'm with you on running in the rain now...Staci, I'm with you on running in the rain now. I love it!<br /><br />I wasn't sure where I had heard the idea about getting blisters running in the rain so I decided just after reading your comment to go back and look through some barefoot running books I had read when I first started. In one book, Jason Robillard's <i>The Barefoot Running Book,</i> I found this: "Rain is usually not an issue unless you are exposed to it for a long period of time. After a few hours, wet skin tends to become macerated, which greatly increases the likelihood of blistering."<br /><br />I read that book over a year-and-a-half ago, and I think I must have been remembering that passage when I was hesitant to go out in the rain yesterday. But I also must have vaguely remembered that it took a long time for the feet to get that soaked, and figured that my little run would not be a problem. What I had <i>not</i> remembered was that the "long period of time" was "a few hours." Lol -- At the rate I'm going, I think it will be a long period of time before I am out there for a few hours in the rain and have to worry about macerated feet.Avocational Singerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15322495001387001602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185746658033937532.post-70518905782056795752012-02-17T05:18:46.664-08:002012-02-17T05:18:46.664-08:00I love love love running in the rain!

I have never heard about blisters in the rain,maybe because we have summer rain here and it is never really cold. <br />Great idea to take pics of your feet running - I wanna try that too.Stacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612442041125738197noreply@blogger.com
