Ran in aqua shoes. Aimed for 10 K or more, but felt a bit tired, so turned back after running 3 K to cover 6 K in total.

Ran in bare feet. Felt awesome. Ran on the sidewalk at first to observe good manners of citizen runner. But the surface condition was terrible, and it felt beyond uncomfortable and a bit painful at times. So ran on the driving road when cars were absent. Much of the time cars WERE absent, because it was past midnight.
The pain in the right foot that had plagued me for weeks a couple of months before was non-existent. It's such a great feeling to be able to run pain-free!
Want to increase running distance and training intensity. Not too soon. But gradually. I'm beginning to learn what the optimal level of challengingness is for me.
