Notes

I set out to take this at an easy pace, and thought wearing huaraches would require it. After mile one, started to feel hot spots on my feet, so concentrated on adjusting my footfall to avoid blisters. Alas, there are at least three large blisters on my right foot now. Anyway, I couldn't help asking myself if I could maintain this pace, whatever it was, for 26 miles. My self-doubt was toying with my mind from about mile eight on. Not wanting to let up on what is really a short run, I continued pushing. The final reckoning came out with a faster pace than intended, so maybe this was successful.
