Day 3
Not much to say, other than I took it nice and easy on tonight’s run. My legs were sore, which is attributable to two factors. I haven’t run much since the fall, and I am wearing a more minimal shoe. Previously, I ran in Nike Free 5.0s, which are a bit sturdier and have a slight rise compared to the New Balance Minimus Road shoes. My Frees don’t have many miles on them, so they’ll find their way into rotation. It’s not a good idea to make the transition to a more barefoot-style shoe too abruptly. That is a recipe for injury.
