Great barefoot running in Nashville lately, now that it is truly Spring. This weekend, I am traveling in Mississippi and Louisiana. So far, I have had two good 45 minute runs—one on the levee in Jackson, and another today on the levee in Baton Rouge. I am running in my Soft Star Run Amok moccasins; Jackson streets are murder on bare feet (though the levee trail seems pretty forgiving; mostly grass and dirt). The Baton Rouge levee is pure gravel road, so I was very thankful for my mocs. At one point, I was wishing I had a slightly thicker sole (mine have 2mm; SoftStar offers a 5mm for trail running). But you know what? I have been doing this now for 2 solid years, and my feet can take it.
I’m off to enjoy my runner’s high, find some deliciously unhealthy Cajun food and drive to New Orleans—-more levee running!
Cheers,
Barefoot Will
