Well, today's run (details) was not much fun. I was still somewhat dehydrated from the long run yesterday, and I had a bachelor party last night so I was short on sleep. This combined to make the run somewhat difficult.
I ran with my friend Andrew today. We had no intention of trying to push ourselves at all today; I just wanted to recover. There's really nothing really special to report, though.
Really this post is just about something that is becoming more prevalent on the internet lately; something I have wanted to try for quite awhile: barefoot running. I'm definitely one of the minimalist types who thinks our bodies have evolved to do certain things, and we should do what our bodies are designed for, but I'm not so certain that includes running barefoot on concrete. Grass is a surface I can certainly understand, but somehow I think that even if you adapt your form that running on concrete might be detrimental.
I'm really tempted to go get a pair of Vibram Five Fingers or Nike Free, but I don't want to spend 85 bucks on something that I only use once. On the other hand, I do love to spend money :).
