Brief Shoe Update

Image
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
