  • 8.5 miles easy running - 5 miles in my Nike Frees, 3.5 miles in my socks

I never really plan to take my shoes off when I start a run, but it seems that every time I get onto 13th east I want to throw them off and have a party for my feet and legs.  They really like it, it's true when they say it's fun.  I thought it was funny when I would read that in the books about barefoot running, but now I've fallen for it and I'm sold LOL. :)  I think it's just because it's more interactive with the ground I guess?  I put my shoes back on after my feet tell me it's not fun anymore.  I don't really feel any soreness or sharp pains, my feet just get tired and the fun wears off (and I'm sure if I kept running they would be really sore).  My feet and legs feel stronger and stronger and I rarely have to think about how to land properly for the healthiest form.  Like my friend Bryanna once told me: my feet are starting to feel like shoes! haha
