2 miles barefoot on the grass loop at the arboretum. It has been 6 months since I last wore a trainer/heeled/cushioned running shoe, I can't see myself ever going back to that type of shoe. I am wearing the lightest shoes I can find, with the least amount of cushioning, and with the lowest heel. The conversion fixed my achilles problem, it never gets sore anymore. If that darned 28 mile snow run last winter hadn't wrecked my knee, I'd be happy. It is slowly getting better, and I am hoping it will one day be 100%.Makes me wonder how I will train in snow this winter. I will try to avoid super long runs in thick snow, but maybe I can get away with runs shorter than 2 hours.
