Another Six Miles

Another six miles, gearing up for the big long run. Well, one of the big long runs.

I'll have two. A fifteen mile run coming up, followed by a twenty mile run a week or so later and then marathon time.

It's so close I can taste it.

New shoes came in today. Went with the Treksports. Goddamn they are beefy. Like tank tracks compared to my VFF's. The should be good though. Looking forward to breaking them in with that fifteen mile.

Back to the six though. It was really good. I relaxed sort of. I ran the first three miles hard, then kicked it. I ran on the Joe Stengel, the old railroad bed. So I took a break. Chilled, just really enjoyed the terrain and surroundings.

I even went truly barefoot for about a mile. Not bad. What surprised me the most was despite how minimal my Vibrams are, they still are like wearing a pair of heavy duty work gloves on your feet. Weird concept. I'll have to play with it more.
