Wimped out of running in the cold and rain today. Rode the spinning bike 75 minutes with dear hubby instead and watched a movie with lots of explosions and aliens trying to take over the world. The world is safe again.
Ack! Just realized why I missed my PR. Minshoes! That 7oz pair of boat anchors! Why didn't I think of it before? Now, I don't feel so bad. I was overencumbered, weighed down. Yeah, that's it...11/21 6 miles minshod to burn off sone calories for Turkey day. Picked up the pace as it was slightly chilly. Felt good, so went for 5k PR. Missed it by 11 sec.

Yes, but the footstrike is ever so slightly different. Even with a 3mm sole, I have to consciously lift just a little bit higher than when barefoot. One of the first occasions when wearing Vibrams, I nearly did a faceplant because I caught the edge of a sidewalk where the tree roots had lifted a segment up 1/2 inch. Same thing in my current pair of shoes, though that was a good inch.But Sid, have you not been strength training?

The other thing is that my PR was done on very smooth barefoot-friendly asphalt. Thursday was a different route, older asphalt, and the elevation was slightly different. Eh, I just want my back to be in good shape again. Maybe tomorrow...
