Today was my first technical run in the huaraches. So I remember saying that the MR790’s were light, felt like I was floating. Well scratch that. These guys are light! Though seeing that there is much less material between me and the ground I had to be very mindful of each and every step. The places where there were lots of pointy rocks I would walk, but I can really see myself running through such a section in the future.
I still find that the leather strap that holds the shoe on to my foot is still in the stretching phase. I’m not sure how much longer this will go, but eventually it’ll stop. What this means, though, is I have to stop now and then to re-tie the strap cause it gets loose.
The trail wasn’t very muddy, but it was muddy enough. I found that I slipped very little, probably cause I was being more mindful of each and every step. Making sure that a) it won’t hurt and b) it won’t slip.
The only down side to this run was there were a few little hills, which are to be expected when you’re out at Clinton Lake. The down hill running did hurt my knees, but thankfully the section I ran was mildly hilly, and more rocky/muddy. The flatter sections and the up hill sections were pain free and I loved every minute of it. Now though it’s time to go ice/rest and keep the knees feeling happy.
