8 months about to be completed on barefoot 24/7...
had a small injury on left foot, but allowed it to heal naturally and within a week restarted 5km running.
i was worried about being barefoot in summer, as roads and much of artificial construction materials heat up... but looks like my feet have developed enough to withstand the heat.
hope to visit kerala in the month of May and be barefoot all through there as well.
been hearing advice about 'why i shouldn't be doing this barefoot thing'. as i look back at the bunch of advice i have received, what i realize is - the advisers always point out things from THEIR point of view - things which concern THEM the most! even though they are telling ME, what i should do, the reasons are all from their own life - its not connected to me at all.
again and again, i wonder, what makes them give such free advice, right away, whenever they find something different. i dont ask them for advice, i dont tell them to do what i do... as soon as they see or hear about my barefoot style, they start off with...
"why? that's dangerous"... you shouldn't be doing such a thing"... (this is the common starting point --> and my guess is that, "after saying this sentence, they start looking for reasons, why i shouldn't do so".
once, i couldn't stop myself, and i blurted out when someone started telling me, why i shouldn't run barefoot - "i asked the guy, please tell me, which year did you win Olympic gold for running?"... fortunately i was running and he was walking in the opposite direction - so he didn't hear my sarcastic comment properly.
i should work on improving my patience.. that'd be tougher than barefoot living :)
