2 more miles

Today nothing was hurting, so I did another 2-mile run. As soon as I started running, lots of things were hurting, but it all loosened up after about a mile. I definitely experience more soreness at the beginning of my runs in the crazy barefoot shoes than I have ever experienced in regular running shoes, and I don't know whether that's something I should worry about. But it does seem to go away after I've been running for a bit. Today I did not have any metatarsal pain during the run, which was nice.

I've noticed that when my Achilles tendon feels tight during the day, holding a heating pad on it for 5-10 minutes and then stretching it helps a whole lot. I'm thinking I should try doing that before a run, because my Achilles is one of the things that reliably hurts the most when I start running. Maybe getting it nice and warm and loose before I start would help.
