Another beaufiful morning. Pace was about average in the 9:40's. I wanted to try my VFF's but I'm scared. I stopped wearing them before anything got too bad.. My heel really started hurting and stinging when I ran. I go back and forth as to whether or not they are a good idea. Why stop a good thing? I feel great right now but on the other hand I really do like wearing them and I think they do strengthen my calves and legs....Hmm.

YAY FOR YOU! Less than one month until Hood To Coast - I can't wait! We need to start planning our Yoda shirts and signs! :-)

I feel the same way about the Vibrams and my Merrells. I think I need some more shoes, my heel has been hurting here too I think from wearing a bunch of unpadded shoes (all day for work and such). Wearing heels during the day (even tiny ones that I have) seemed to help, as backwards thinking as that seems. I agree though, why mess up a good thing? YOU ROCK!
