That headline was a quote from the second song I listened to on the run and it just felt like such a fitting line for me that I couldn’t get it out of my head. I just kept thinking that’s just what it feels like I do each time I go out for a barefoot run.
I usually run a lot faster when I listen to music. Today that was definitely the case. Tuesday I ran basically the same route but I did it 2 min/mile slower. Today I just felt like going at a stronger pace the whole time. I’m sure the music had a lot to do with that.
What a beautiful run!! I feel so grateful for having a healthy body and being able to go run for an hour. Just blasting some great music and cruising along on perfectly smooth sidewalks and streets barefoot, in 40 degree weather, which was a fantastic temperature. It feels like summer compared to last month. My feet only took 3-4 minutes to get warm today.
