On the Road Again

Foot is not at 100% yet, but as I could not stand to go another day without running, I decided to take my Five Fingers for a little spin yesterday.

Verdict: I LOVE THEM!!!!

In my three mile run yesterday, I think I realized why my 3rd metatarsal is hurting. When I was running in shoes, even though I had a forefoot strike, I was stiffening the muscles when I would hit the ground. In the Vibrams, I had to allow my ankles and heels to follow through with the motion after the strike. It's kind of like catching an egg that has been tossed in the air: you have to move your hand with the egg to increase the amount of time in which the egg feels the impact so it does not have too much impact at any one point in time. If you just hold your hand flat and don't move it, the egg will crack.

Even after running, my foot feels a little better than it did yesterday. 2nd bonus: no soreness! I think that my muscles were already pretty well prepared for the toe shoes from several months of ball-strike, so I did not have the same problems as many others who convert. Success!

Hopefully, I will be able to post more this week than the past couple of weeks. The beginning of the school year sure has been crazy, but I'm starting to find some routine. So glad to start a new week!

  1. We need to do a run together. Speed work, maybe? I am going to pass on the LR Marathon and do Austin this year; I know you will be there. Hey, check out my last race at my blog; it went well. I keep getting the injury bug of late, though.

  2. Hello people out there i just wanna share my experience and testimony about my relationship and how it was restored through a spell caster mukumukushrine@gmail.com. My husband left me suddenly for one girl without any reason and i tried all possible means within my reach to get him back but doesn't work out after which a very good friend of mine introduce me to this spell caster called mukumukushrine@gmail.com. When i explained everything to this man, he requested for some personal details of me and my husband with our pictures. Then this man now told me that within 3days starting from the time he collected the details my husband will find me and to my greatest surprise before the time this spell caster told me my husband came back to me.
