Barefootin' on da 'mill

I ran four easy miles on the treadmill, 1.75 miles without footwear. Attached are two pictures. One shows a shocking amount of sweat on the control panel on what was an “easy run”. The second picture is the bottom of my feet after running barefoot, GROSS.

I’d like to find a 5k and show up without shoes. Call me weird, but it would be fun to run the race just to see the expressions on everyone’s face, since running barefoot is not the norm.

Earlier this week I was in a slump, but I have found a second wind. Even better news to report, the knee is starting to behave now that I’m off the concrete again.

Loathe the concrete!
