It may not look like I've been running all that much, but rest assured that I'm punishing my body at every opportunity. My last serious run was last Saturday, but on Sunday my wife and I went for a long walk and I of course put on my Five Finger's to continue strengthening my feet. Well an hour and forty minutes later and my feet were screaming in pain. Turns out that the parts of your feet that you use when running barefoot are not the same as the parts you use when walking. Ouch. Because of that I was forced to take Monday off of the physical activity.. but don't fear! Tuesday was the last Ultimate game of the season, and I was sure to give it everything I had in me. Then today I went for a run (see below) before having an intense squash match... as a result, I think I'm going to sleep well tonight. In my dreams I will plan my route for tomorrow!

Time: About 25 minutes

Pace: ???

Footwear: Vibram Five Fingers - Sprint

Notes: I had a squash match tonight but really wanted to get a short run in before hand, so I went down to the club and tossed on my VFF's before hitting the squash court. I did a couple short hills, then a huge set of stairs before crossing the river, back down through some trails, and across another bridge before going back to the club for my match. It was a fairly short run but it felt great to get out again. I need to get out as much as possible to enjoy the nice weather we're having before it starts getting colder.
