Barefoot Rick's Year in Review - 2005
Year 2005 was my first totally barefoot calendar year of running. Although I started running barefoot in October 2003, I did not transition to totally barefoot running until April 2004. Y2005 has gone beyond my expectations regarding my barefoot accomplishments, and most importantly, all the fun I have experienced!
Below are the things that I measured in 2005. There are so many things that are immeasurable such as enjoyment, fun, and meeting old and new friends on my barefoot journeys!
