Ran 2 miles to the arboretum, then did 45 minutes of hill repeats at a moderate pace. The noon sun was bright and the air was humid, but my body is getting acclimated to heat and I felt pretty good. I bought a pair of Puma minimalist shoes over the winter, and I was finally able to wear them today for a run. They are light and flexible as ballet slippers, it is similar to running in my bare feet, and I was happy with how free and comfortable my toes felt. I am looking forward to wearing heavier shoes, then switching to lighter ones for races and occasional training - it will be a psychological boost.
