The single most pleasurable experiences I've ever had while running have all been barefoot. Running barefoot in the grass is fantastic. In college, we used to do barefoot strides (80m building up to max effort at 40m then backing down) after hard workouts. And I have a loop in the Chicago suburbs through a forest preserve that bumps up to the old Lucent campus in Naperville that has soccer fields and baseball diamonds. It's about a half mile on a side, and I used to run barefoot there in the middle of a long run.
Sometimes I miss being in real shape.
