Notes
This was my first run in my Merrell Barefoot Trail Gloves. I also ran without socks since the shoes don't require them. I felt strong. It took about .5 mile to a mile to get my stride right. I found that I didn't need to focus so much on stride since the shoes kinda force you to run with correct (mid-foot strike) form. Overall, I think it's going to be fun breaking in these new shoes.
