Average pace 9:13/mile. It felt really good today. I ran in the barefoot shoes and did the minor workout for 100 up first. I felt like my form was really good throughout. It was hard to maintain at the end but I was able to focus and finish. the knee felt great no swelling or pain.

Felt really sore running today. The Barefoot shoes take some getting used to. Consequently my time was 9:36/mile

Took a day off to recover from the workout for these muscles I didn't know that I have. I felt better today. I really focused on my form. I found that if I got distracted it deteriorated. Toward the end of the run it was harder to maintain the form as well d/t tiredness.

Pretty good run I tried to go faster today. I did pretty well for the most part but I took a shortcut just after the 1 mile point and got stuck in the cactus, so I had to walk for a minute. Average pace was still 9:16/mile.
