first huarache trail run



i went outdoors in the huaraches today. ran a short loop on the point defiance trails. huaraches handled well. feet got muddy but no pebbles or other irritants got in the foot bed.

one of the leather laces failed. one broke at 2.2 miles. lucky that i only had to run 0.1 miles on virgin barefeet to get back to the car. the laces only survived about ten miles total. perhaps i'll go to nylon or hemp. will have to ask around...

most importantly, still no ankle pain while running in the sandals. when i ran these trails in shoes a week ago, i had to call a run short due to the ankle...and it's not that the ankle is much better cuz i can feel a twinge when i walk...

no worries though, pretty sure it's just accessory navicular syndrome.

huarache miles
today: 2.3
total: 22.7
