There is no shortage of zen barefoot runners or barefoot runners who converted after serious injuries just so they could keep running. But maybe just maybe I could become the face of fast barefoot running.

But most of all I want to be an old man with a big beard who can beat all the local highschoolers while running without shoes.

Personal:

I am a Junior in high school. I began running fall of freshman year but only got (fairly) serious about it as 2014 began. When the tempurature permits (current threshold is 38 when dry and 50 when wet) I run barefoot. I began running barefoot 2 weeks after I started runningso unlike most barefoot runners I never had to transition. I adhere to the paleo diet. I do not drink soda and I rarely consumer sugar. I am the youngest of 4 and only one of them has ever run a 5k. Prior to running my primary hobby was teakwondo and for a while Parkour.

Day of rest. Although if I was not feeling so lazy I might have gone on a short run. Afterall my hamstring was feeling better and I only did 1.5 miles in the previous two days.

Not sure why my wieght is so high but I can sure feel it. Not feeling great overall but my hamstring seems to have almost resovled. Tamper day before the meet tomorrow. I plan to run an aggressive mile and either get a big PR or crash and burn so it should be an exciting meet.

Race: Tri Meet (1 Miles) 00:05:42

I went into this meet with a plan and it played out well. The last two meets I felt like I have something left on the mile and maybe if I just had someone next to me pushing me I could have done it faster. Both of those meets I aimed for even splits and never caught anyone. This meet I went for crash and burn on the mile. My split after one lap was 77(5:08 mile pace) and from there it was pain and effort but more importantly I got a full 10 second PR so that is awesome. One thing I noticed was that my throat really hurt after the race. My guese is that I was not controlling my breathing at all. For the 2-mile everybody in the field had a PR more than one minute faster than mine so I had to run alone but got a respectable 12:56 but something tells me I had a bit more on that one.

But more important than anything written above is that I now feel a large surge of motivation that I belief will last a while. Thing are looking up in the rest of my life aswell after a tough week or two.

Today was cold and rainy. Did all my running in five-fingers. No practice today because it is city championships. Ran 5.5 right after school with a friend of mine. Was definitly slower the 10 minute pace. Followed by a faster 3 on my own. Then I endured the cold and cheered on my team. By the time my toes began freezing off and I left boys and girls teams from my school had sizable leads.

One mile warm up followed by 8 miles. It was fast compared to most of my runs 7:53 average pace. Close to the pace I plan to run my June half marathon.
