So one of the books I've read so far on the subject says that it can take between 6 months and 2 years before your muscles fully adjust to running barefoot. During the time before that you can potentially be at a much higher risk of injuring yourself than you would be running in convential shoes. I've been trying to keep that in mind for my runs so far, keeping it mild and not trying to ramp up the miles, but oh do my calves ache already. So long as I'm careful, I don't think it'll be the end of the world.
Also, with this change in running my plans for the immediate future are a bit upset. I don't want to jump into any long races barefoot for the next month or so, but I'm not sure if I'm keen on switching back to regular shoes just to log a few more races either. I guess I'll just have to play it by ear.
Well, that is all I really have to report, and it's late, so I'm going to bed.
