Day 56 - White Pine Trail

Since I was working up in Cedar Springs today, I thought I would use the White Pine Trail to do one of my runs.  My hypothesis was that the trail would not be quite as rough on my feet as sidewalks or the neighborhood streets.  I was wrong.  My intention was to try for 2.25 miles but I had to stop at 1.74 because my left foot was getting a little raw.  I didn't see the point of leaving bloody footprints along the trail. The good new is that I sold my bike frame and have ordered a pair of Altra Samsons.  I'm pretty excited.

Distance: 1.74 miles

Weight: didn't check

Results: as I mentioned above, my left forefoot got raw.  It is not as sore this evening as it was earlier.  While running, my right knee was sore.  This has been common recently but the funny thing is my knee feels fine shortly after I'm done.  This, I can't quite figure out.

What I Learned: Yes, I need shoes.

Plan: Honestly, I should run on Sunday but I will probably take a break.  If anything, I will do some sprints on West's practice field.
