7.08 pm miles 1:02:17 8:48 ave   this is straight up b street.  The black water clogs are very thin, much thinner than crocs.  This is good in that it closer simulates barefoot running, but they sure are thin.  Stepping on pebbles hurt.  Otherwise, I really like them.  It will be interesting to see how many miles I will be able to get out of them.

I ran with two other guys, one was much faster than I am, the second guy, to my surprise, turned out to be faster than I was today.  The run was for the 2nd guy, it was a training run for him and he invited me to push him.  Turns out I blew up toward the end.  When he told me he wanted to ave a 7:15 pace I told him I probably can't do that, I thought for sure he would not be able to do it either because I've been a little faster than he in the past.  It was humbling to be dropped.  7:15 is pretty much a half marathon race pace for me, so for me to ave 7:23 this wasn't too bad considering I was not race ready.  As for my friend, I was happy for him, we haven't run together since last winter, he's improved and probably faster than I am.  Good thing his not in my age group!

10 miles, out and back from home.  1:33:03  9:18 ave.  slow and easy.

4 miles on the track.  ran late evening, very nice.  38:33  9:38 ave.  Ran after big Sunday dinner, not very wise, but I wanted to get some miles in, even if it were four slow miles.  2 miles of barefoot was very nice.  Looking forward to more and more barefoot miles each week.

13.08 miles, up to the top of City Creek and back.  I have never seen City Creek so green.  I was incredible.  Pretty warm day, nice to run in some heat, but not too hot.  2:01:14  9:16 ave.

I wasn't trying to run fast, just make it to the top and then come back down.  What a terrific run this was, absolutely beautiful.  I've this run several times, I think I'm going to do it a little more often.  What a day! 

4 miles all barefoot on the track.  I rode my bike before and after.  It was nice to run and ride and not have to cycle with a backpack to carry running shoes.  I kick off my cycling shoes and socks and start running.  I love it.  I'm not getting enough cycling in, but that's just how it's going to be this summer.  This way, I get a little cycling in.  I'm also going to run few miles Monday to make up for Sunday shortfall.  I never run on Mondays.

My time was 32:36  splits 8:42  8:17  8:11  7:26  ave 8:09.  This is the fastest and longest barefoot run to date.  That last mile tore me up pretty good, I went just a little too fast I think.  It felt so good.  My feet are getting tougher.  The track felt like felt, that sounds kind of funny.  It did feel like I was running on felt, it was so nice, could not help but to open it up a little bit.

3 behind Capitol, very slow

4.65 am miles, no watch, beautiful warm morning.

5 miles on the track, hot afternoon.  8:47 ave.  After 3 slow miles I wanted to run a quarter mile as fast as I could.  I've never done this before so I did not know what to expect.  My flat 5k pr is 6:37 pace, so I figured I'd be happy if I could pace the equivalent of a 6 minute mile.  I ran 1:21, which would be a 5:24 mile so I was happy.  When I took off I felt fast and strong, half way around I felt the lactic acid shut down my legs.  The last quarter length of the track I felt like I was running about a 9 minute per mile pace.  I was actually surprised I finished in 1:21.

16 miles.  Started at the track for one mile, up Victory Road, behind the Capitol, over to Shriners and back.  Looped twice behind the Capitol.  Didn't look to do any speed, originally hoped to go 13, but it was such a wonderful late morning I stretched it a little longer.  What a great run!  2:21:47  8:52 ave
