AM - realized I left my running shoes at the house last night, but had my Vibrams with me at the hotel, so my plan was to run easy for about 30 mins in them mostly on the grass where possible.  But it was dark and the grass was wet and uneven - so I ended up just running on the sidewalks and roads - very light effort - and because it was so easy I stretched it out a little more than I had originally planned. Nice morning run.

Maybe you can still get in on the class action lawsuit against Vibram? :-)

I know a whole $94. Actually I did have a stress fracture from wearing them a few years ago.
