Mileage Reporting Week 2 of 2016

Ran 4 miles barefoot this morning. Started at 5:00am, 19 degrees F and it was lightly snowing, great run.

8 miles Tuesday
9.5 miles today
A chilly start this morning but it was nice to see some blue sky for a change
Both runs were........


And on........

Not been out for a while, so it was good to get an early morning 2.5km in today.
Seems to have turned cold all of a sudden. -4degC this morning so it was a little chilly on the feet at first, but not too bad.
And it was back to leaving footprints in a very thick ground frost, which always makes me smile for some reason.
Enjoyable start to the day..

19 degrees! I have not been able to adapt to temps that low. Probably the trip to Maui didn't help any.

Running here, running there, on the beach and in the snow. I only saw one other barefoot runner in Maui, and that on the beach. I refrained from saying anything to almost all of them, but then I was running facing past a man who got caught by a wave, as did I. I just had to call out, " you need shoes like mine!" And pointed at my bare feet. He gave me a big friendly grin.

I have had a hard time acclimating back to the cold, so tried a treadmill run at my husband's gym. They require footwear, but so far Sockwas have been acceptable. Ironically, I had my first treadmill mishap of any magnitude last Saturday when I dropped my phone, tried to stop the machine, and attempted to step off cockeyed while it was still moving. Took some skin off my shin, but at least didn't crash to the floor in front of everyone. I ran another 5.5 miles for a totalt of 6. I don't think too mnsy people wondered at the blood on my leg...

Still made it dancing that evening! Great fun!
