I just couldn't resist a run today. After a few hours in front of the computer and the sky looking so blue outside, I just had to get some fresh air.
I went barefoot today and this is one of the more difficult runs I've done barefoot given the temperature of the pavement and the grade of road. I'm very happy to report that it felt great and I don't have any blisters. For me the biggest limitation to how far I can run barefoot is blisters.
When I first started running barefoot, I'd get blisters and I assumed that it was because I needed to build up my calluses. However I read on a blog (sorry, I can't find the link right now) that you shouldn't be building up huge calluses and that if you are it probably just means your form is bad. I try pretty hard with my form and I still can only go 4-6 miles, depending on terrain, so I'm not sure what to think. But I am getting better, whether it's due to calluses or better form.
