Just Another Waste of Space

As many of you know I’ve been training up for the Secret City Half Marathon this November.  To help aid me in my training I’ve been looking for some good running shoes.  Last week I found them.  These shoes are by far the best feeling shoes I’ve ever put on my feet.  It is actually getting harder for me to remember to take them off when I’m home…

As you may have guessed by the title of this lovely story, these shoes are none other than Vibriam’s FiveFingers shoes!  I currently have the KSO model which are very comfortable and are useful in many different outdoors events.  Infact here’s a list of activities these shoes are “best for”:  Running, Fitness Training, CrossFit, Light Trekking, Bouldering, Water Sports & Travel.

The first full day I had these shoes I went for my normal run and didn’t come back for 2.5 hours!  That’s right, they were so comfortable that I was jogging and walking for over two hours and didn’t even notice it.   My feet were not sore or anything!  I did however find new muscles in my legs the next morning when I woke up but that’s a good thing… I think.

So, I’ve been slacking off a bit on at least two things.  One, keeping a “jog journal” here or on Facebook.  It would be nice to keep track of my running a bit better so I can look back and see exactly what I’ve done.  Maybe I’ll magically get better at doing that.  Most likely I’ll have to get better at it the normal way… by force.

Second slacking thing I’ve been doing is actually running.  I’ve found a few excuses on a some of the days to not go out.  Like today, it rained so I didn’t do anything yet.  It’s not raining now… but it did before.  I did get a few pics from some runs so I can show you a bit of my travel.
