Did I tame my feet?

They call it "tempting fate". Having told the world how to care for one's bare feet, a week later and I have several bad cracks under my big and smallest toe, left foot, and what is probably a thorn in one of the toes of my right foot. Not to mention the off cracks appearing on my heels. I do not think my diet has changed, so why? Not to be deterred I am treating them the usual way and they have improved enough to do short runs barefoot this weekend.
