too much too soon? walk back...

back to the point defiance trails today. parked in the same spot where the car went for a ride yesterday. forgot to recharge the sansa clip, so no mp3's again today.

so with a bandaid on my blister, i ran the trails again. yesterday's haurache remodel was a definite improvement. i took off about a half ounce of rubber per sandal (they are about 3.5 oz now)...the only difference was that water or mud could get over the sides more easily.
yeah, i really ran with this lacing...

about three miles in i started to feel something in my previously perfect left ankle. i stopped and walked. i didn't mind walking, but didn't seem to want to run today. luckily the loop was three and half miles, so it was a short walk to the car.


the ankle's fine. i might be able to put on some foot armor (i.e., running shoes) and do a few more miles...but this week, i've beat my previous top weekly mileage, most of it in the huaraches, and blatantly disregarded the ten percent rule, more than doubling last week's mileage...why tempt fate any further...

more mud got under foot
but no problem




huarache miles
today: 3.2
total: 41.2
