Exploring snow and ice. Barefoot.

Wait wait wait, and never give up… Injuries are pretty shitty. But what can I do. Just wait. And I have, for months. I recently had my first run in a very long time, and it felt great! Ever since I bought my first pair of minimalistic (barefoot) running “shoes” in July 2012, I’ve not even once used my (old) regular running shoes. Even when hiking, exploring surfaces like rocks and mudd.

Now it was time to explore snow and ice. I reckon it was about -4 degrees celcius, the main roads were covered in ice while on the off road tracks I could enjoy fresh snow (on top of ice…). It felt funny at first, then cold and I had to squeeze my toes together every time they where off ground. It helped. After about 10 minutes I was warm and the next 30 minutes were awesome! I’m already excited for the next run :-)

What’s your winter running experience? Barefoot anyone?
