Running Barefoot

It has been a long time. I am happy to be back barefooting.
I have been home for just over 7 months. I tell you, I really did a number on my feet. The good news is that I have (finally) learned some valuable lessons.
The road to barefoot running again was a little rough during the […]

Now, I will start off by saying that I Personally, simply avoid running in freezing weather, not a difficult task, since I live in southern California. For those who live in freezing places, and don’t want to test your limits to the fullest degree (or negative degree), then go ahead see if you can find a substitute […]

Huntington Beach, California.
In case any southern California locals, or tourists, are interested in running at low-tide on Dog Beach with Herman and Barefoot Ken Bob, below are some low-tide predictions, during my Holiday break.

There is wisdom in listening to our elders and learning from them. However, there is also wisdom in listening to our “youngers” sometimes.
I noticed some kids walking barefoot across a parking lot one time.
When they came to a rougher gravel-covered section, they all did some familiar things:

Bent their knees more
Shortened their strides more
