22.55 barefoot miles this week.
Ran the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure 5K today. My first barefoot "race". Decided to take it easy on my run today since I wanted to do a long run tomorrow morning since I am training for a 1/2 marathon on 10/10/10. Anyway, I guess adrenaline took over and I didn't take it easy. My last training run on the run course was 26:04 on Tuesday (and my feet were pretty tender after that run), so I figured since I would be running again tomorrow, instead of pushing it and trying to beat that time, I would back off and run around 27 or 28 min. Well, I finished at 24:45! Feet actually aren't feeling too bad now. They were tender right after the run. I plan on carrying my VFFs with me tomorrow when I run just in case, but hopefully I won't need them.
Also, searching online for some info regarding today's run, I found this article from last month that mentions barefoot running, BFRS, and links to my post on here regarding the Susan G. Komen run. Thought it was pretty cool: http://www.examiner.com/weight-loss-in-wichita/avoid-the-egg-recall-and-start-barefoot-running
