Barefootin'

I ran ten minutes on the beach today using my new Vibram five-finger shoes. Pretty cool, through water, over shells, etc. Felt fast. Later I ran 40 minutes in my regular shoes. Too early to compare the effect on this old body.

Running

On Saturday I ran 55 minutes at moderate speed and felt really good. So Monday I decided to kick it up and pay attention to my speed with an occasional fahrtlich. Turns out I could do it for a full 30 minutes which is encouraging after running more and more slowly for the last year or so.
