Notes

First Huaraches run! I'll make a more extensive report on the footwear in the Barefoot group. Since I had run fairly hard and long yesterday afternoon, and followed it with some quickstep dance, my feet were tender and left knee a bit gimpy.

I thought it would be a good time to test the Huaraches with a short, easy run. The shoes felt okay, but I didn't feel great at the beginning of the run. Sped up a bit as I gained confidence and the knee pain subsided. Felt like I was running at a pretty good clip, but the pace doesn't match what I felt. I definitely did not feel the connection to the ground that I feel when BF. On the other hand, I was not running in fear of putting my foot down on an acorn. Pluses and minuses.
