Barefootin' Again

We are trying to make a habit out of our Sunday Barefoot Run. Today was 5 miles at IMF. I started my watch kind of by accident so I went ahead and recorded my laps: 7:30 7:19 7:09 6:35 6:28. I love a good barefoot run! On a sour note, Ruth Anne's foot is hurting today and barefoot didn't help. She is really bummed about it. I'm hoping that this is adaptation pain not injury pain. For the week, I put in 58 miles, including the marathon. That puts me over 1,100 miles for the year. I plan to be back to my 90 MPW schedule in 2 weeks. Starting then, I will begin lowering my average training pace until I am running easily at a 7:15-7:20 pace for most of my runs.
