Saturday morning I hit the streets for my long run of the week, hoping to go eight miles or so. Wearing my Vibram Five Fingers Sprints (which have now surpassed my KSO’s as my favorite road running “shoes”) though, I got into an awesome groove and if necessary, could have definitely finished a half-marathon distance!

First real barefoot run of 2010
Today, with the temperature over 40 degrees and the sun making an appearance, I decided it was finally time to hit the pavement for my first 100% barefoot run of the year. I ended up going around 1.75 miles and my feet are definitely feeling a bit warm and somewhat tender at the moment. As [...]
