I went barefoot for the first time this weekend, and I really liked it! Did a few miles in a nice trail, got my feet all muddy Do we have other runners on here? If so, has anyone else gone barefoot, and if so, what are your thoughts?

i prefer not to risk being skewered, stung, bitten, or lacerated with every step...

No, no, no, no, no. I won't even wear open shoes because I can't stand to get my feet dirty

I run. Shoes all the way, though. There's not a lot of even terrain around my area and I've got hairy-ass feet. I look like a hobbit, only taller.
