Recovery run + core conditioning.

5:14 am, 19°F, 81% humidity, winds calm.

We got a spit of snow last night that stuck to the grass but not so much to the roads and sidewalks. However, it did make things slick in spots and there were a few places where I had to run over snow.

It felt good to run slowly today. I'm liking these recovery runs.

AP: 10:26. Splits: 10:32, 10:29, 10:13, 10:27, 10:26, 0.14 @ 10:30.

A fox ran along side me but off to my right a ways for a bit.

As is my Wednesday and Friday custom, I switched to the Vibram Five Fingers for the last mile and a bit. There's a snow-covered stretch of sidewalk in front of my house and my neighbor's house. I left barefoot-looking tracks in that snow at the end of the VFF part of my run today. I thought that was pretty cool. I wonder if anyone will notice. A lot of kids walk past there on their way to school.

I've got a busy day today. I've got to go downtown and video tape my  husband's top mariachi group performing at the state capitol for Arts Advocacy Day.

Bare-feet tracks in the early morning snow will certainly catch their attention....they might think there's a sasquatch on the loose! I guess your feet are small, so maybe a little Yetti.

Have fun with the band today, and great job on your recovery miles & keeping them slower paced.

Yeah, people will be shocked. I had that happen and someone on a bike actually rode after me to find out what the heck was going on.

Here in my town, it would be all over school that "Mimi's mom was running barefoot...". It would take about 10 minutes for the word to be out!

I am likiing your recovery runs too! I find that the harder I work on "hard" days, the more I need the recovery runs.

Just reading about your recovery runs makes me feel recovered.

I'm VERY good about making up stories of the footprints in the snow that came before me - so I'm sure the kids will have plenty of yetti stories at school today :)

GREAT run and I love the recoveries! Many runners don't know how to recover well and it usually comes back to bite them. Excellent work!

You are so good about sticking to your plan! Are you tired today with only 5.5 hours of sleep? That would wipe me out!

From april27 on Sat, Feb 27, 2010 at 09:22:22 from 99.188.251.180

I think you need a recovery run with only 6 hours of sleep!

From Michelle on Sat, Feb 27, 2010 at 12:35:26 from 174.29.65.50

Good job with your recovery run and sticking to the plan. You are so hard core, leaving barefoot tracks in the snow!
