Long May You Run

4 miles all barefoot on the track.  I rode my bike before and after.  It was nice to run and ride and not have to cycle with a backpack to carry running shoes.  I kick off my cycling shoes and socks and start running.  I love it.  I'm not getting enough cycling in, but that's just how it's going to be this summer.  This way, I get a little cycling in.  I'm also going to run few miles Monday to make up for Sunday shortfall.  I never run on Mondays.

My time was 32:36  splits 8:42  8:17  8:11  7:26  ave 8:09.  This is the fastest and longest barefoot run to date.  That last mile tore me up pretty good, I went just a little too fast I think.  It felt so good.  My feet are getting tougher.  The track felt like felt, that sounds kind of funny.  It did feel like I was running on felt, it was so nice, could not help but to open it up a little bit.

5 miles on the track, hot afternoon.  8:47 ave.  After 3 slow miles I wanted to run a quarter mile as fast as I could.  I've never done this before so I did not know what to expect.  My flat 5k pr is 6:37 pace, so I figured I'd be happy if I could pace the equivalent of a 6 minute mile.  I ran 1:21, which would be a 5:24 mile so I was happy.  When I took off I felt fast and strong, half way around I felt the lactic acid shut down my legs.  The last quarter length of the track I felt like I was running about a 9 minute per mile pace.  I was actually surprised I finished in 1:21.
