Thursday Night 12.5 K Barefoot Run

Mission complete!
I just came back from a 12.5 K barefoot run scheduled for tonight.
It was a satisfactory training run.
I was able to keep a good pace 
in all of the five laps (1 lap is 2. 5 K),
and finished strongly with the last lap being the fastest of the five.
I got two minor blister ruptures, and one new blister.
But they all appear not too serious.
Inside both of the ruptures there already developed new skin.
They were old blisters that had reabsorbed.
And the new blister looks small and is expected to reabsorb soon (I hope!).

The laps are as follows:
1st: 11:38.65
2nd: 11:06.34 / 22:44.99 (5 K)
Hydration break: 13.60 / 22:58.59
3rd: 11:08.39 / 34:06.98 (7.5 K)
4th: 11:08.90 / 45:15.88 (10 K)
Hydration break: 13.47 / 45:29.35
5th: 10:30.32 / 55:59.67 (12.5 K)

Next training is Sunday.
I am going for 15 K.
If the new blister remains painful,
I may put on "MUTEKI" or Vibram Five Fingers
to keep it from getting worse.
