Day 157 - Run with barefoot shoes

I got a pair of Terra Shoes, ones that feel and look like water shoes but are supposed to be low profile for running naturally. I ran from Fairview in them but while I managed to run the mile ish from there to home it jarred my heel on my left foot a lot. I did the run with no stops apart from lights and actually ran up Watling and through the park without walking.

When I got to Watling I ran on the verge (no verges on Mt Eden Road) and instantly the run was better. So I also ran through the park on the grass all the way to home and it was much, much better. Normally when running in my K-Swiss I find grass unbearable as it saps at my stride and feels like sand, the opposite is true in the Terra shoes, they felt like the K-Swiss on pavement.
