Ok so this is a silly little post but I honestly never want to forget how thrilling this silly little experience is! It all started last thursday... I was sore from the 8 mile run me and nina did together over the phone and groaning around the house still feeling good from the endorphines from endurance but my hips felt like they were going to pop out and worst of worst my knees were killing me. I just kept thinking to myself I want fivefingered shoes because I read they make your knees not hurt. And then voila awesome schol refund check came in the mail and next day after service I got kathy to go to travel and country and try on the alien shoes!!!!
I am totally and 100% sold on the fivefinger minimalistic running shoes. And I have yet to read born to run book. I am in love with running! I have only done 5 miles in them over the past week and my feet and ankles feel so much stronger! My calf muscles have never been this big! Not that I was particularly going for big calf muscles as my goal, but I am now seeing that maybe those calf muscles support the feet muscles which make running easier, faster, and more fun. All I have been doing is starting my normal run with a mile or 2 in the barefoot shoes and then the whole rest of my run feels easier. With no sore knees. This my friends is a revolution to running! sold.
