Once again, Adam, the Boring Runner, offered us the chance for a race in the freezing month of January. Freezing? I think Virginia has forgotten what freezing is. Even worse, I ended up having to do yet another virtual race on the treadmill. Our weekend was insanely packed and I was left with one 30 minute window on Saturday morning to knock this race out and I had Shoo with me during that time. (I could have run it on Sunday, but I had a hangover penciled in LOL)

That’s one of the fastest 5K’s I’ve ever done and I did it barefoot. I’m in training for a 5K race in a couple of weeks and, based on my treadmill speedwork, I’m hopeful that I’ll hit my second best 5K ever. (My PR was set on a wickedly downhill course when I was in awesome shape.)
Thanks, Adam, for giving me a reason to run fast. I apparently only do speedwork in virtual races. Who has one for me this coming weekend LOL?
well, alas, to my chagrin 🙂 Im not running these days but ADAM simply rocks.He is so supportive of all of us newbie runners, old timers 🙂 and everyone in between.and YOU?the barefoot?as Ive told you before.I.In.Awe.
wow to doing fastest and barefoot :)congrats!
So are you fully barefoot or doing Vibrams? I have a few friends they love going barefoot. I've never tried it but know for a fact my feet wouldn't be able to handle it. Way too sensitive.As for virtual runs, I have a hard time picking up my pace since I'm in my usual element. Good for you to be able to use those moments and get some kick butt speed work!
Congrats on such a speedy time–barefoot and all! WTG!
Maybe it's because I'm not a runner, but nothing about your workout sounds fun! I like to wear shoes when I teach or workout! Could be that reconstructed knee. But I am glad that you enjoyed it!
LOL, I love it when a plan comes together. So how was the hangover?????? Oh yeah, good run.
ROFL at penciling in the hangover! Nice job getting the 5K done!
