3 more runs this week. .89, 1, and 1.13 miles. 2 miles total all Barefoot.
This week was full of ouches and tip toeing around debris everywhere in the road. I was a little upset with my performance in the first 2 runs, but had a “break out” run on Friday that had to be celebrated with 1 or 7 beers that night at a local watering hole.
It only took that 13 minutes to convince me that I was doing the right thing after 3 awkward weeks. It was like realizing that the woman you were set up to marry by your parents is actually cool and you might, just might be able to love her.
There was one specific point also that made me realize my progress. In the previous 8 runs, whenever I went to turn a corner or make a slight shift from straight, my feet we so sensitive that I had to do a quick step move to avoid pain. On friday, I took a corner like Dale Earnhadrt and it didn’t feel any different than my usual course. Week 3 mission accomplished.
Cheers, Bruno
