Weather - 81 degrees, sunny.

Ran 1.5 miles to the arboretum, then 3.75 miles barefoot around the grass loop. That is the longest I have run without shoes. My breathing was excellent today. I ran most of the barefoot miles at 7:15 pace, and it felt effortless.

Quads were somewhat sore from the 2 consecutive hard days, so I will run short and easy days until my legs feel better.

One bad thing about todays run, when I was running quickly through the grass the top of my left foot felt weak, and I had to slow down. It could be a sore tendon. I will have to keep a close watch, if it continues to feel weak I will cut out hard workouts until it is healed.

What do you mean "top"? As in under the ball of your foot? or your metatarsals like where the toes connect to the foot?

Benn - not the bottom, but the middle portion of the top foot near the inside step - it is tender when it bends and pushes forward. Probably sore from overuse, so I need to cut back hard workouts until it feels better.

You are nailing the bike workouts, way to hit 100K yesterday!

Smart to cut back a bit before hammering out the next workout. And thanks ! I am optimistic that I can complete the Century ride now. :)
