Weather: Overcast. 5c.

Course: Commute to work
Shoes: Invo-8 Road-X 255
Clothes: SS top. Thin wind jacket. Shorts.
Distance: 10.27 miles
Time: 1:46:43
Comments: The music went on immediately. The mind and body we not that interested for this morning. Took shoes off for two stretches of the run. 1 on smooth tarmac and the other on trail. Although weird to start with (more in the mind than anything), putting your barefoot into a muddy puddle becomes quite a nice sensation to the underside on my feet. I didn't suffer blisters following putting the shoes back on without socks (and in the case of the trail, muddy) which was good. After barefoot on the stony trail, I seemed to care less about the little stones rolling around in my shoes for the last 2.5 miles.

Comments: I have never done 2 runs in 1 day before. So when the opportunity arose to run to work and home again, I was nervous as to whether I would blow-up during the run home. The first 2 miles were tough, although my legs worked fine, they weren't up for it. Eventually, midway through the run I discovered that the only way I was going to be able to make the distance uninjured was to take smaller steps directly under my body. Especially on the trails. From mile 9 onwards I was starting to suffer and my form was starting to resemble a shuffle, but I was able to keep going without a problem.
