I ran five easy miles at an 8:30 pace this morning. It felt a little harder than I think it should have, probably because of all the birthday cake I ate last night (birthday cake . . . mmm). I ran 2.5 miles before stopping to take off my shoes. I figured that I should at least try running barefoot before the craze cools down (assuming it does, I suppose). My plan was to run the last 2.5 with no shoes, but after a mile my feet felt like they were blistering, so I put my shoes back on to finish the run. Maybe I should have gone completely barefoot instead of wearing my socks.
