Friday ran 7.5 miles from Pine point beach past Old Orchard Beach pier and back barefoot. Some calf stiffness last 3 miles but otherwise terrific. Liked changing up cadence while running around children, sandcastles, dogs and incoming tide. Cooled feet and calves in the ocean and dined at Bayley's Seafood.
Two shod trail runs since (12 and 5.5 miles) and my left foot is acting messed up. Have had stress fractures to both feet (left: late November through December '10 and right: late February - April '11) previously. Even took 2 days off after 12 mile run. Almost feel like being mildly to painfully injured is just part of being a runner.
Hoping next trail run the foot begins to toughen up/heal itself.
