Running update 12/14

Alright, still barefoot running. I did 2 miles on 12/13 in a time of 15:40. The first mile was 8:30 and the second mile 7:10. I can say that wet & cold is very damaging. I had a very minor repeat of my earlier injury, and will keep me from running for a few days. To repeat: no fast running in the winter, especially with numb feet. To easy to make a form mistake that scrapes the skin right off my feet. Which it did before, and almost did on this run. So, my new dedication is to not run faster than an 8 minute mile. If I stay injury-free at that pace, then I can increase. But the 7:10 caused injury, so I've got to slow down. I'll start my mileage log back up (FWIW, i'll start it again 1/1).
