I woke up to rain today, and went down to the Penn Charter track. I attempted to bump up my distance to 1/4 mile today, no go. I got to 200 meters, and continued the lap walking. I never realized how angular and "rocky" the surface of a track can be. I really must have some sensitive feet. I'm tempted to just throw on my Vibram Five Fingers, and start getting a work out. I'm going to just stop wearing shoes as much as I can to toughen up the skin. I'll just blend in Germantown as the tall, goofy, white, barefoot dude with twins. If I want to run the Boilermaker, I need to put some miles in.
Any tactics for the Boilermaker? There's a decent amount of grass you can run on. Roads won't be as painful as tracks (I think). In my past barefoot running transgressions, I found the shale paths in Root Glen to be best on the feet!
