    great Barefoot Flight 6 km

    Barefoot, kilt, singlet. Found a strong rhythm at the run's outset, got liftoff, and flew around my local ring road. This one scores 11 out of 10 on the gumption index. 13C, sunny, 4 km/h wind... read more

    Anton Krupicka, on the summit of Mt. Elbert in Colorado. It's the highest peak in the Rocky Mountains, at 4,401m (14,440 feet). Kupricka's amazing!

    great BKS, Languid 6 km

    Barefoot, kilted, and shirtless, at a pace that was downright languid. Ran on sidewalks, ran on roads, ran through some cold, wet grass. Sometimes languid is just the thing. 13C, sunny, 5 km/h wind... read more

    The religious imagery doesn't work for me, but the journey metaphor sure does. I've loved this song since 1968.

      Anurag, transitioning takes time. You really have to learn to run all over again. If your form is still the same as it is for your running in regular shoes, you're not doing yourself any favours. You have to run *as if you were barefoot*. Once you get get your form sorted, the pain will lessen quickly.

    great Wet and Warm 00:55

    20 minutes whirlpool, 20 minutes sauna, 15 minutes breathwatching. Breathwatching is helped immeasurably by doing it beside the whirlpool. The sound of bubbling water is soothing.
