Saturday afternoon

Well it's been a day over a week since we ran last. The weather's been mostly rainy for this last week and the couple of times when it wasn't rainy, we had other things scheduled and didn't get our run in.

The weather was quite muggy with all the recent rains. Temperature was at 71F. Joe and I got a pretty good run in anyway. We ran a little over 1 mile with a total distance including walking of 1.75 miles. Since the bike path was mostly wet & I'd read warnings about going completely barefoot on a wet surface or in the rain, we ran with our huaraches on. As to running when it's wet, they likened it to what happens to your hands when they've been soaking in dish water: your feet become softer and are torn up much more quickly, so it is recommended that we wait to run in the rain until our feet are toughened up more.

I didn't have any problems this time, but Joe got a little blister. I think we'll have to adjust his huaraches. I didn't get the chrono started so we don't know how long it took us, but it seemed like we were moving pretty good.


I'm going to attach some pictures of the huarache running sandals for your enjoyment. :-)
