Barefoot Running Followup

Well, as I mentioned in my last post I went for a run sans shoes on Saturday and it certainly was a different running experience.

Today, being Monday, I have found muscles in my feet that I didn't know that I had. DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) kicks in about when I expected it might. I aim for one run per week of 10kms, or more if I can squeeze it in, and I don't normally have any problem with sore foot muscles, just quads mostly. Obviously I've worked foot muscles and tendons that I don't normally use as having my feet sore where they are is quite unique. Unless it is debilitating, I associate this sort of sore muscle thing as good as it indicates to me that I actually worked some muscles that either I don't normally use or beyond what I normally use them for.
