Monday: 3 mi barefoot tempo
Monday: 3 mi barefoot tempo at 35F on wet roads + 10 minutes of ketlebells as warmup. I don't know which was worse, the cold or the kettlebells. I haven't done any strength training at all before this.
Tuesday: Same warmup but an easy 7 mi planned. Hopefully it won't be as chilly either.

Not much yet. Swings mostly, but I'm trying to figure out a few other exercises by watching grainy youtube videos.
As for tonight's run it became a bit less than 7 mi, I ended up running the course of a 10k race that's held here each spring.

I got in 8 barefoot miles
I got in 8 barefoot miles today. Had my fastest mile to date with a 6:36.
Awesome comment heard today as I was running past a lady running with shoes on - "Hey, you should get a pair of those Vibram toe shoes. I just bought a pair and they are awesome!"
I was running barefoot and this lady thought I should buy a pair of VFFs?

Nice work Adam, how do you
Nice work Adam, how do you find your feet do for those first few miles in the cold? I feel like my feet need a good 2 miles to warm up first before they stop hating me, seem to be super sensitive when they're cold.

I wore running tights, a mock underarmour shirt, hat and gloves for this run. My feet felt great right from the start, I didn't feel them get cold. But VERY sensitive! The colder it gets the more sensitive my feet get.

I am still mending with the help of antibiotics from my toe infection. My legs are itchy now. Someone mentioned doing back to back long runs and am toying with the idea of doing ten on Saturday and ten on Sunday - we'll see if I feel that crazy come weekend.

Yeah, me taking off last week
Yeah, me taking off last week after running the 10 miler kinda turned into me taking this week off too, haha. Well drama rehersals and way too much homework didn't help. I'm kinda wanting to go for a run right now, but I'm not sure about running during the day. I've been doing my runs under the cover of darkness, which helps me not care about how silly I look. Its not looking funny from my form I'm worried about so much as my other habits, which include running in circles over rough spots to fine tune my form, taking random gravel detures for the same reason, jumping from sidewalk to road and back again to keep my feet from getting bored, and lying down in the grass in the park when I need to "focus".
