Brief Shoe Update
I’ve been really busy (writing, Orlando trip, family visiting on the 4 th ) but wanted to give a brief shoe update. I love the Vibrams! Why? · So lightweight and comfy · My toes like not touching each other · Forces me to run with better posture · I was a sprinter in high school, and this makes me feel like there’s still a sprinter in me somewhere · I feel like a “real” runner when I wear them · No need for socks (one less thing to remember when I pack my running bag) · General sense of body adjusting well (joints, knees, back etc have no problems) · In the Florida summer heat and humidity, it’s a nice excuse to run slower and shorter distances But…they are not perfect · The bottom of my feet have felt rubbed raw after several different runs (not every time, but more so when I go more than a mile) · I’m still SLOWLY building up distance and haven’t gone more than 3 mile
