I still had a bit of a hot spot on my foot, and didn't run this morning. I may try tonight. Many of the usual strategies for avoiding blisters -- make sure your footwear fits properly; wear moisture-wicking socks; slap on some Vaseline; duct tape (!) -- just aren't applicable to barefoot running. The accepted wisdom seems to be "too much, too soon" will trigger blisters. So, run slower or less distance or both until the skin on your feet has adapted.
I have some Dr. Scholl's Moleskin Plus that I'm thinking about trying, but I wonder if it would just fall off after a few steps, or else make my foot slip.
