running day

1 mile 8:45 - fast jog, slow run
1 mile 8:39
.5 mile 5:00 - slow jog
.15 mile 4:00 - walking
yoga

this was the first time that i went running in my vibram five fingers. running with these shoes is comfortable. they are lightweight and flexible. they don't have much padding, so it forces you to stop over-striding, which lessens the amount of braking you do. this actually makes running easier because it makes your stride more efficient. there is some adjustment you have to do, but it's easy to get used to. every now and then i would catch myself slamming my heel into the ground and over-striding, but then i would catch it and adjust back to a proper stride.
