I'm transitioning to barefoot/minimalist running on top of barely any cardio all winter and assorted injuries last year, so my distances are nowhere near what I'd really like them to be. Getting there slowly, though!

Encountered 5 turkeys and a deer at the top of a big hill on Thursday evening. Would love to repeat that. *g*

And I did 1/4 mile barefoot on asphalt on Saturday with only a couple stops to brush off sticky tree bits and a few pebbles that stuck in the tree stickiness.

My goal for this week is to get out there on T & Th even if it's raining so I don't lose what I've gained.

Most sources I'm familiar say that for transitioning to bf you should keep running with your regular shoes and do small amounts bf, gradually increasing the bf/shoe ratio.

I did a little bf running (mostly on grass) before winter, and was about to start up again this spring and then got injured. But I'm hoping to incorporate bf running into my regular program.

Good luck getting out there this week!
