the road ahead

I just jogged/ran 4 miles in my birthday shoes (Five Fingers) for the first time!! It feels great!!! :D My Forerunner 305 GPS watch is awesome too!! It is definitely a great motivational tool during the run!!

The crazy thing with these shoes is that I ran further with them than my expensive padded running shoes!!  I guess when your body is designed a certain way, we should probably try to keep it that way.  Case in point, when I wear my expensive made for running shoes, my lower back feels it and also my shins during and after the run.  With these shoes, I have no pain whatsoever and can actually feel my muscles working as opposed to my joints aching!!  I am sold!!
