J-Hill 12/10

Ankle a bit sore. More noticeable than before. Might be the shoes. Kind of annoyed, kind of scared - don't want to miss any races or long term training. Bah. Signed up for CBHM - sold out in 14 minutes. New huaraches today, smaller than the last ones, feel okay.

Ankle feels kind of bruised, tender. Felt okay in the beginning of the day, noticed it being tender when I stepped on a two inch lip and heel touched the ground. Wondering about going to a doctor...

Day Off 12/9

No sleep last night and really wasn't feeling that great. Took the day off. Ankles a bit sore today. Wore my old Ronin's at night. Stretching seems to make it feel better.

Re-strung my huaraches, but pulled the lace through the side while restringing them. Have to make a new pair tonight.

Marton 12/8

Okay run. Felt fairly decent going into it. Ankle a little sore. Wasn't too bothersome going downhill. With 2.4 miles to go I popped a rope on my huarache and ended up going barefoot. Wasn't too bad, but ground was wet and cold and there was a fair bit of man made gravel strewn about.

Huraches

Wasn't real sure about these, but the Wife got me a pair of huraches from Luna Sandals from Barefoot Ted's little company. At first I was a little skeptical, but after a couple of runs I think I like them. They feel enough like barefoot. Pretty sure I'm going to get another pair of them - custom fit this time. Not sure that I need the custom fit, but for an extra $15, I think it might be nice.
Hurache Running Sandals

Two complaints so far. Being that they have no uppers the rocks and grit get under your foot and the sole of the shoe. Normally when you're barefooting, this isn't a problem. The rocks just fall off your foot. Now they have something to get stuck between. For the most part they go away, but every now and then I'd have to stop and pick out a particularly sharp one that wouldn't go away. My other complaint is with the laces. The Wife got me the ATS elastic laces that they promote on the website. I have to try it again tomorrow, but I had to stop a few times to tighten the laces up. Not sure if its the laces just settling in, or if it's the elastic. If I get a custom set, I might just get the hemp laces.

So far I'm pretty pleased. Hope I'm pleased in a week or so.

Marton-Prison Pond 6/15

Second run of the day. Right after the family run. Decided to do it with the huraches. Ankle felt okay. Need to ice and stretch it. Pretty sure I'm figuring out my ankle is tendinitis of a sort...

Family Run 3.0 6/15

Tried out the huraches. Felt pretty good. Ankle still feels a bit large but... Knee was a little wonky earlier, so I did a fair bit of stretching. Felt good after.
