… because I shed my shoes again. my BRAND new shoes… hehe. I did my 6x400m interval speed run, and because we had 2 of our runners doing 9 hills and were still at it when we finished, I decided to run their last 3 hills with them. I ran the first one shod, then I stashed the new NB’s in the bush, stripped off the socks and ran the last 2 -400m hill repeats au-natural…
It felt Awesome! I have never scaled hills with such ease and grace. It really felt good! Coming down was a bit tough on the soles, but I went slow and made sure I kept my feet moving, instead of stomping into the downhill. The second hill felt just as good!

I must be some sort of freak…
ReplyDeleteSpecifically, the sort who runs hills barefoot. Which, technically, makes you more fetishist than freak, I think.
But hey, it's all good.
Were you unaware you were a freak before?
ReplyDeleteRemember: knees bent, posture erect, fast feet, have fun. Those are the rules.
Glaven: fetish has a sexual sound to it, and while running barefoot feels good, it doesn't feel that good.
