So yesterday I was going for a pleasent 3 mile barefoot run, exploring my new Colorado neighborhood. Lovely day. Couldn't stay inside. I drew up a route on mapmyrun.com and intended to follow it.
Unfortunately, I took a wrong turn in a park and ended up running 5 miles barefoot and walking (barefoot) 2 miles home. AGH!!! I got lost barefoot! Which is a lot different than getting lost shod!
It was pretty fun though! By the end my back and knees felt better than when I've run 5 miles previously shod. I walked under the freeway twice, which is a gutsy adventure becuase there's a lot of glass shards about. My feet really ignored the terrain like pros tho
Surprisingly, my soles aren't torn up at all! Just tender. Tender tender tender. And my feet feel great...after vigorus icing. At least, they aren't dead. I'm really surprised I didn't break anything. The calves are fine but I'm sure they'll flame up tonight. It seems to take 24 hours for my muscles to wake up and tell me that that I suck.
I'm gonna wear the most cushy foot coffins I can find at work today.
So that's my adventure.
Anyone else ever gotten lost on a barefoot run?
Also...I ran around a lake and stepped right in goose poop. That made me laugh. A lot.
