I finally got my official results from the race, 28:47, I set a 9:18 pace. Then the next day I was on a high from the race and ran 3.5 miles at an easy pace. Then a pain on the top of my foot started hurting. I thought it was a stress fracture, but after much research I found out it was less serious. It's supposed to be like plantar fasciitis but due to running barefoot it affects the top of the foot. So I have not ran in a couple of weeks to give it a rest. It feels much better today and I played golf yesterday with no problems. We have strong storms coming today and tomorrow, so I plan on waiting until Tuesday to get started back. At when I start running again it won't be to break any records, it will be to just run.
I finally loaded an image and that was at a Turkey Trot run for education last Fall. That was the first 5K my son had ever ran, and I am very proud that he finished without walking.
In an effort to go barefooted more often, I wore water shoes all day one day and on the weekends I try not to wear shoes unless I'm playing golf. I thought my feet would be sore and my back would hurt. The bottom of my feet were a little tender but they didn't hurt and my back felt great. So I'm waiting for summer so I can go barefooted everyday.
Next week I am hoping to take some pictures of where I run and post on the site. Keep running.
