Days 12 & 13 - Extra rest

The last couple of times out, I've found my legs getting sore before I've even completed a mile. So I've decided it would be better to give them a rest for a day or two. I've been continuing the massage, and stretching on steps. But I've added two extra recovery days before I do my next run.

Most guides to barefoot running recommend that, when making the transition, you listen to your legs. If they start to hurt, rest them until they stop feeling sore. So I'm giving it a try. Although I do have a sense of progress-less days ticking past, it's also surprisingly easy to just be lazy for a bit.
