Unfortunately I have been traveling over the last couple of weeks.  I spent time in San Diego and 9 days barefoot in Belize.  While I would have liked to run while in Belize, I was too pre-occupied with all the things to do there...  Basking in the sunshine, drinking piƱa colada's and swimming with the fishes. 
I am back at it and after a couple of weeks off and a pedicure I found that I could only run 2 miles.  I found the tips of my toes to be a little sensitive today.  Strangely enough they were the same toes that I have been trying to grow my toenails back from the last marathons that I ran a couple of months back. 
Aside from the little sensitivity, I am happy to report that I have experienced zero issues with running barefoot.  No leg pain, back pain or foot soreness.  I am going to start looking for a 10k that I can run in the next month or so.  If that goes well, I will try for other races.
My boyfriend and I met you in Belize on the water taxi, I was just talking to a coworker about barefoot running and I remembered your blog. I am enjoying reading it, and will try barefoot running soon!
