So I went out for a short jog today, the sky was clear and the sun was bright. Road surface temp was back up to 41º yay! I've handled down to that temp before bf so figured I'd try this one bf. One thing I noticed was there was an unusually high amount of small bits of gravel on the road. There was always some right close the the edge since its loose stone for a few inches on each side of the road, but I was encountering single bits every few steps. Now my feet may have started to loose some of there toughness since I havent been bf much the last 2-3 weeks (actually maybe only once or twice) but hitting one of these semi sharp pieces on otherwise flat pavement is very ouchy! I had to run very slow and cautiously and no matter how hard I tried I could not really spot any of them since the texture of the pavement is very course and gravel-looking already. Its old pavement that basically looks like chip'n'seal. I had to turn back after not to far at all and only got maybe half mile total.
I was thinking maybe the increase in stones was from folks driveways and the side of roads, and was on the road now since we have had snow the stones tend to stick to the tires more and get drug out and spewn about the road. Thats just a theory, but I have noticed this in my garage. In the summer when I pull my truck in I get just a little gravel into the garage as well. In the winter when there is snow on the driveway I end up tracking in a small bucket full almost every day.
So I am thinking even on these unusually warm days I'm still not going to be able to go bf. IDK, maybe if I try the bucket method, and really toughen up my feet.
