Well…fudge. The 5k race I planned to run barefoot is not going to happen due to the fact that our family will be joining Lori’s extended family for a camping trip that weekend. I’m kind of dissappointed but there is another 5k on September 11th I can enter to make up for it. Considering the awesome barefoot run I had today, another 5 weeks should mean I will have no blister problems on the 11th. That’s the theory anyway.

Given the extra time I’ll have to get ready I should also try and do a bit of speedwork so I can make a respectable showing. The hard part is figuring out what “respectable” means.

What’s my time goal?

You ran 7:00 for a mile “time trial” some time ago, which converts to about 21:45ish. I’d say try to get close to 21 minutes.
