I've got my first race of a busy October coming next Saturday, and based on today's run, I think I'm ready. The race is a 5K, which I usually don't bother with, but this one runs by my front door, literally, and I couldn't resist. It is going to be my actual debut in BF racing, so that's something.

Anyway, todays's run just went so well, I could hardly help but say something. I got out late, and due to complications, I had the 5 year old in the stroller with me. We hit the paved Schuylkill River Trail and did a nice easy 5 miles, out and back. Outbound I ran 26.5 minutes, warming up slowly, inbound, 21. The feet and all their supporting equipment (legs, lungs, back, head and heart) were happy to be along. Everybody we passed had a nice word for Josie, who was quick with a wave and a smile herself.

I just couldn't have been happier and easier of mind and heart by the time we finished.



Happy running, all!
 
Good luck on your first

Good luck on your first barefoot race, JT! I'm sure you will do just fine. I love those runs where everything comes together just perfectly as if in tune.
