good Snowy Trails 2.07 mi 00:21 10:07 pace

Ran just a couple miles around the trails at Bigfoot Beach State Park. The paths were hard to run on and deep with snow. Ran in VFFs and normally I'm a total VFF fanboy about running in all weather conditions, but the constant snow covered feet got cold, especially when snow went IN my shoe. No socks either. If I would've been on the road, it would've been fine though.

    Thanks Jason. I've been running in the VFFs 100% of the time since May of 2011. Trying to not wearing 'normal' running shoes ever again. Love my VFFs. I hear the kangaroo skin VFFs are best for winter, gotta look into those.

    i still cannot really wear my more than every other day and for any distance more than 5 or 6, but I wear them when i can. not as much now that it's cold.

    it took me a few months of build up to get to a point where I could give up my regular shoes. I ran a marathon in the VFFs this summer and it was awesome. Might try actual barefoot this spring, if I can find some non-road surfaces to run on.
