The Next Day

I am fairly convinced that running one mile in the Vibram Five Fingers did not have any significant impact on the way my muscles feel this morning. I mean, my legs are tired and stiff, but no more so than I would expect after a weekend of running...especially following a couple of my highest mileage training weeks faster than my anticipated race pace.

I am eager to try my typical 3 mile orbit in the Vibrams, especially because it is on asphalt and features some demanding hills...meaning it would give me a better idea of what I can expect out of them. But I really do not think it is a good idea to chance running in them any more until after I run the Surf City Marathon.

I think I can afford to wait. After all, it is now less than two weeks away!
