Weather - 75 degrees, raining. 4.5 easy miles, with 1 mile barefoot on the golf course. Unfortunately I won't be able to run on the golf course any time soon because the course manager saw me running on his fairways in my bare feet and got pissed off. He came after me in his golf cart in the rain, flagged me down, and told me to get the hell off his course. I asked him if I could run 600 yards down the fairway to the cemetery because that was where my shoes were. He emphatically stated no. The only way off the course was to go onto a busy road with no sidewalks, so I decided to pay no heed to the man. If he wanted to chase me down in his cart, good luck to him, because I was determined to turn it into a race and I was confident he would feel like a fool for chasing a skinny barefoot runner in the rain. I took off running down the fairway without looking back. When I made the turn onto the fairway adjacent the cemetery I saw him driving his cart a few hundred yards away. He must have decided that chasing me down was not worth the effort. So the golf course is no longer a training option, but I did not run there very often anyways. I still have the park/woods route and the arboretum for my training runs. After the run I did 4 sets of strength exercises, stretching, and 35 minute walk home. #301
