Another day without shoes

Went for another walk today. The longest yet. I was about 1.5 miles in when I suddenly felt like I "got" it. I figured I'd keep going to see if I could keep it up.

Over the next 1.5 miles I slipped in and out of good form. The real test came towards the end when the path switched to rock (and pretty sharp rock if you ask me). I did much better today than I have before. I managed to make it down the entire rocky section and it hurt far less than it has before. A few steps here and there even felt GOOD.

I have to say, it's going to take some time before I can relax properly going over terrain like that, but then that's kinda the point of the trails I've been walking... Variety.

I think I need to start carrying a foot washing kit in my car... Muddy day :)

    Hey J.,

    Are you going to go in for that whole neolithic lifestyle? I've read about people on the caveman diet and its mostly protein plus a lot of barefoot running. I guess you have to bring-your-own-dinosaur

    Ironically I *am* eating a low carb diet as well, but that started almost a year ago.
