Barefoot January Park Run

I think about doing this barefoot and then decide against it as I am running Jerry's night run tonight.  In the car-park I can't resist and whip of the shoes and socks.

It's 10c and so not too cold.  The runs starts and in barefoot is hugely enjoyable.  There aren't to many sticks in the depths of winter.  My feet go a little numb, which hurts a little and then they warm up.

The wind down the back-straight it horrendous, and it is like running through treacle.

In the last km I catch up with Rob.  We run together for a bit, and the pace is fast enough to preclude conversation.  Towards the finish I kick and put a gap between us.
