Notes
Alright - finally! Got several things accomplished today. Haven't done a long run in 5 weeks, so I was worried how far I could go. But the temps (56>43), low humidity (30's), mostly cloudy, & no wind really helped. Plus, this is a straight and flat "Rails to Trails" trail - newly paved and perfect for barefooting - an out & back from mi. 9 on the trail to the end at mi. 15.7, then back toward where I started (three additional miles were shod). Figured I'd BF as far as reasonable, then switch over to my running shoes. This 10.4 mi. easily bested my old <8 mi. barefoot run.
Tonight I'm stiff, calves are tight, feet are good. Total run counting 3 other miles with shoes on is 13.4 - exactly what I'd planned.
Both hands, but mostly my fingers had circulation problems and kept going numb and tingly for about an hour afterwards - don't know why. Wife thinks it's from holding my arms in the same position for a long time, although I "shook 'em out" periodically - maybe so.
