Nice goals!!!
5K tonight. First race for me since the 1/2 last July. Then I took time off for my right foot to heal. Started back running barefoot and with VFFs in October. Had to break down and get a pair of running shoes for this race because I am not ready to go that distance in VFF or barefoot...
This was only the second time running in my shoes. And the first time going this far in shoes on pavement since July. And I am not used to running on pavement because all my training has been in grass with short distances (75 yrds) on pavement, and wanted to run the whole thing instead of run/walk. Focus on form. Get the form down. Don't look at the clock. Hmm, one mile 13:09, that's Ok. Form. Form. Form 2 miles, dump water on my head as I am starting to over heat. My feet are hot. They are not happy in those shoes. But I know I am not ready for the VFFs just yet. 26:and change. Ok, that's Ok. Drat. If I want to finish in under 40, I better get moving. Drat. What did I just do to my arch. Crud! Dangit! worry about form not time, dang you! Hot. I can make it. Let's go! Finish 42:08. Cold beer and fruit afterwards was good. Oh and the shoes came off. happy feet.
