Took a half day. Couldn't bear to be in the office any longer on such a nice day. Barefoot run in Guilford. Planned shorter run, as my left heel was feeling sore and achy. Did at least a few more minutes with Jess afterward. Strength training at home. Harvested and juiced some wheatgrass for the first time. Yum. Hoping to make this a daily thing.

Nada on the exercise front. Picked up a few pots and a tray at Salvation Army for wheatgrass and barley grass. Started some more wheatgrass and barley grass. Now I need to get me a wheatgrass juicer. The centrifugal ones are not ideal for juicing wheatgrass, I've learned.

Barefoot run in Guilford. I think the warmer pavement is giving me blisters. My brother gave me a Timex heart rate monitor. My heart rate at an 11mpm pace was in the 150s. Seems high. Guess I'm out of shape. Growing tired of running only 7mpw. Stretched out on the Green afterward. Strength training at home.

To celebrate this big week of running a whopping 7.4 miles, I think I'll go out and get drunk off half priced wine at 116 Crown tonight. Sounds like a plan.

Total barefoot miles: 7.4
