Photos of Hawaii are to come..
I finally am back to barefoot running!
The problem though is that running in hawaii barefoot is a little bit different especially in regards to the roads. Here the roads are much rougher and unforgiving on the feet.
I took off on a fast 2.5 mile run around my neighborhood. It was an absolutely gorgeous day - 80 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. The cool tradewinds kindly conditioned the environment around me. I began with some sprinting intervals to try and recondition my muscles to the natural barefoot method but I learned that this was a huge mistake.
I had just ran my first mile when I realized a strange sensation on the bottom of my feet.
I quickly discovered 2 MASSIVE blisters, one on each of my feet, which left me limping home almost unable to walk.
The moral of the story is to let yourself adjust to your environment and listen to your body. Don't self destruct!
