Barefoot Fresca: A Barefoot Run in the Rain

http://barefootfresca.blogspot.com/2012/02/barefoot-run-in-rain.html

Thursday, February 16, 2012. A Barefoot Run in the Rain. I opened the door to go out for my run, Daffodil on her leash, all excited. Shoot, why hadn't I known it was raining? I had seen how grey it was outside my window, but had been so busy all morning that I didn't know it was raining. Daffodil wouldn't step out. Today, though I was all ready and I wanted to run. And I am. Okay, Daffodil, you don't have to come. Oh, I know! They think, because I never know what they think. But today I felt a little...

Barefoot Fresca: Better Kung Fu Cycle Training Class

http://barefootfresca.blogspot.com/2012/02/wow-what-difference-from-last-class.html

Saturday, February 4, 2012. Better Kung Fu Cycle Training Class. What a difference from the last class! The first black sash class felt like a disaster; a catastrophe. It wasn't really. A disaster or catastrophe. It could. Be viewed as such from one point of view. So no disaster. Just a situation. Anyway, I set down to make a plan to determine how I was going to deal with it all. Decided to use the week to play catch-up. I would scale everything way way back and start from there. Here was the week:.

Barefoot Fresca: Beginning Again -- Part II

http://barefootfresca.blogspot.com/2012/01/beginning-again-part-ii.html

Monday, January 30, 2012. Beginning Again - Part II. About an hour ago I posted that I was going to head out for my first run in quite a while and that I was planning to wear my new Merrel Pace Gloves. Because it was too cold. I stepped out the door but looking down at the shoes I did not feel very good about it. I had a frown. "It's okay," I told myself, "you can run barefoot a little later when it gets warmer.". You need to run in these things some. Time because you can't run barefoot all. I do believe...

Barefoot Fresca: June 2011

http://barefootfresca.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

Thursday, June 16, 2011. I'm a Black Sash! Wait a minute. That's a picture of a brown sash, not a black sash. I thought she said she was a black sash. Yes, that is my "old" brown sash you see over there on the left, with all the progress stripes earned over the past year or so. I told you in the other post that I was being given a second chance to get my black sash. I got changed into my sparring gear with a minute to spare. Guess. That didn't phase them. They kept asking me questions. Usually engage in&...

Barefoot Fresca: April 2011

http://barefootfresca.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Friday, April 15, 2011. I M A Barefoot Runner! Did you think I had left you all? But I have been on a little break from barefoot running. Didn't run for several weeks after the Run Disney event. A couple of weeks ago tried going out a couple of times and felt great both times. Couple more weeks passed and finally today got back out there again. No, that doesn't seem to be right any more. This next season should. But that is not what this season will probably be about. Venture to new barefoot places. ...

Barefoot Fresca: January 2012

http://barefootfresca.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html

Tuesday, January 31, 2012. Kung Fu Black Sash Year II. Last year you all followed along as I worked in "cycle training" from January to June and tested for my black sash in Kung Fu. It was the most intense physical activity I had ever pursued and I learned so much going through the "cycle.". Because of a snow day, and a day I had to miss, I have only attended one cycle class thus far. And that one class was somewhat of a disaster. Been comparing myself all along without being conscious of it.). So, that ...

Barefoot Fresca: Beginning Again

http://barefootfresca.blogspot.com/2012/01/beginning-again.html

Monday, January 30, 2012. Hi there, everyone. Here I am standing at the threshold of a new beginning. I have been invited to round 2 of black sash training in Kung Fu. This time working towards a progress stripe on my belt. This is an intense, like last year, 6-month training event that ends in a big test and a graduation. I wrote about my last year's first experience with it here. I'll walk, and test out a little running, maybe a minute here and a minute there. I'll let you know how it goes. Top Product...

Barefoot Fresca: If at First You Don't Succeed -- Practice!

http://barefootfresca.blogspot.com/2011/06/if-at-first-you-dont-succeed-practice.html

Tuesday, June 14, 2011. If at First You Don't Succeed - Practice! I'm getting a second chance! I suppose that means I should practice! I guess that means I have to put on shoes! Grumble, grumble, complain, complain.). First up: The video. Below shows that I clearly can get into my gear in under 3 minutes - with 30 seconds to spare as a matter of fact - at least while I'm fresh. Next Up: Knowing My Left Foot From My Right. The next part is the elastic bands. I thought I had figured out to come around ...
