8 miles in about 80 minutes.

Comments:

Yesterday (the day of this run) I had a very frustrating mediation in Portland, Maine.  During that mediation, however, an attorney told me that if I had continued my previous run a little further, I'd have hit a very popular running loop around a cove.  What I didn't know was that the trail to reach the cove was just over two miles (although I'd have guessed it), and that the cove run was 3.5.  I ended with about an eight-miler that was the furthest - by three miles - that I'd ever run in my Vibrams.  It was a beautiful day, the water looked great, etc., so I enjoyed myself immensely.  It was also just the mental cleanser that I needed.

However, my legs were shot last night, including a very sore hip.  I was quite pleased this morning, though, to discover that although I was sore, I wasn't in any real pain and would be fine to either squat or run tonight if I felt the need.  That defines progress in my barefoot running.
