My first run since last Saturday's marathon. Had to let my toes heal.
Tried out the Vibram 5-fingers for the first time. I think I'm going to like them. I was told that I normally run on my toes, so this is not a major change to my stride. One thing I do notice, is that I pay a lot more attention to the rocks and pebbles on the ground. Our road is "chip sealed", meaning they coated a once dirt road with tar, and then spread gravel over the top and rolled it. It is quite bumpy, and in the VFFs you feel these bumps quite a bit more than in my regular shoes. Going to start increasing the miles in these things gradually. Can't wait to try them on a soft trail sometime.
