running for fun

or for a workout. I did a little bit of free weights tonight and then hit the elliptical for some minutes. Then did a 10 min run on the treadmill at only 6mph. It was ok. Feels nothing like sparring or drill work. For the last couple minutes, I went up to 8mph and gutted through that. I walked a few minutes and tried again, but this time the hotspots on my feet were too much. I guess I shouldn't run barefoot, but it's so convenient. My feeling is that if I can run 2 miles at 7min, that will be sufficient for my combat needs.
