I’m really getting in to this barefoot running thing.. It’s so cool to have a different twist on something you’ve been doing the same way for 30 years.. Today i started from home which meant running barefoot on the road to the trail .. no problem at all. my feet are so tough from going barefoot around here all the time that the road was easy.. it’s the manure and slugs on the trail that are hard on the sole.

I like the way it makes me feel.. You really are in touch with the ground..     and it makes my feet, legs and hips feel good.. Here are my tootsies.. notice I have totally flat feet.. yet running with no shoes feels better than all the fancy running shoes I’ve evertworn.

The rest of the day passed blissflully without feature. the one big event is that both Gabe and I fell asleep in the sun  on the trampoline outside for about an hour..

Around sundown we sparekd up the mud oven and made some calzones..

Diane comes home tomorrow morning. I can’t wait to see her..   Now it’s time for bed.. I nneed to wake early to get gabe to school in the morning. Peace to you all

night folks. night Sam
