7.5 Miles - 1:01:05 - 8:08/mi. - HR: 155 avg - Elevation gain/loss: 912 Ft "I shed my common sense, in exchgange for newer skin" - The impossibles - Plan B That was a quote from the second song I listened to on the run. They were one of my favorite bands when I was in high school...anybody heard of them? Anyway, it just felt like such a fitting line for me that I couldn't get it out of my head. I just kept thinking that's exactly what I do each time I go out for a barefoot run. I usually run a lot faster when I listen to music. Today that was definitely the case. Tuesday I ran basically the same route but I did it 2 min/mile slower. Today I just felt like going at a stronger pace the whole time. I'm sure the music had a lot to do with that. What a beautiful run!! I feel so grateful for having a healthy body and being able to go run for an hour. I just blasted some great music and cruised along on perfectly smooth sidewalks and streets barefoot, in 40 degrees, which was a fantastic temperature. It feels like summer compared to last month. My feet only took 3-4 minutes to get warm today.
