Barefoot in the Park

So I finally ran last night....I had taken a couple days off to reclaim some much needed sleep. I met the group at the oval - we warmed up and then J had us take off our shoes. We did 12 sets of sprints/recovery jogs in the grass. After the sprints he has us do two 400 meter sprints and two 400 meter recoveries with our shoes on. I must admit it was much easier to run without my shoes on - I had much better control on the ground. When I put my shoes back on I really noticed the padding. This weekend we have a 14 miler...should be fun!
