More Iskiate and another 2 barefoot miles

Tonight was my first run since going on vacation last week.  I just wanted to take it easy and get in some relaxing miles.  I started off with 2.5 shod miles which ended at the high school track, where I did 2 miles barefoot, and then ran the remaining 1 mile home.  My feet are a little sore, the calluses having gone a little soft in their time off, but all-in-all it was a good run.

 I also made another attempt at chia fresca (or iskiate).  This time I used:

• 15oz of water
• 1 tablespoon of chia seeds
• 3 tablespoons of honey (approximate)
• 1/4 fresh squeezed lime
• a pinch of salt

and instead of stirring it I shook it well in a water bottle, let sit for 5 min, shook again, and drank.  The honey made all the difference enhancing the sweetness, and brightening the flavor of the lime.  I was very hesitant with the salt, not wanting to overpower the rest of the ingredients, but my caution was for not as there wasn't the slightest hint of it.  Success!  I do need to look that I'm adding in some electrolytes or glucose to help replace what will be lost during my run, but I think I've got a good start.  No more Gatorade for me!  (Except the two in the fridge that I need to drink ;)
