Notes
My breathing did not feel good all morning and I was wondering if it was allergies or something in the air, but most likely it was a poor breakfast.
I did a rare thing and left for a run in the rain. A tad chilly at 60degrees but it quickly felt good. I thought with the rain that the nearby park would be soft enough for good barefooting. Instead, the ground was still pretty rough (or I've just been used to being very pampered by the soccer fields).
So with the less-than-ideal footing on top of the tight breathing, I'm happy I managed 3 miles barefoot. I threw in 4 hill sprints afterwards and that wasn't terrible.
