There is no shortage of zen barefoot runners or barefoot runners who converted after serious injuries just so they could keep running. But maybe just maybe I could become the face of fast barefoot running.

But most of all I want to be an old man with a big beard who can beat all the local highschoolers  while running without shoes.

Personal:

I am a Junior in high school. I began running fall of freshman year but only got (fairly) serious about it as 2014 began. When the tempurature permits (current threshold is 38 when dry and 50 when wet) I run barefoot. I began running barefoot 2 weeks after I started runningso unlike most barefoot runners I never had to transition. I adhere to the paleo diet. I do not drink soda and I rarely consumer sugar. I am the youngest of 4 and only one of them has ever run a 5k. Prior to running my primary hobby was teakwondo and for a while Parkour.

I run track and today we did 8 Repititions of a 400m followed by 30 seconds of rest then a 200m. Mental game was off at the start. I could have pushed it harder then but I ran the last two very fast. Don't remember the spilts.

Fartlick run of 5.5 miles with 2 minutes on followed by 1 minute recovery. To your guys that do speed work by yourselvs I am very impressed, without the incentive of catching certain teamates on the fast portions I would not have been able to push myself as well.

Long run at a good effort. My legs were hurting but it was the good kind of pain. Looking forward to the 50 hours of recovery until my next run. Sleep and rest and healthy food incoming.

A very much needed day of rest. Woke up with sore muscles so I must be doing something right.

High of 66 warmest day so far. Queue barefoot run and . . . first barefoot splinter of the year. It will take a few runs for my feet to toughen back up. After a long warm up we did 2 on 2 recovery 3 on 2 recovery and so on followed by a cool down.
