My first run since last Saturday's marathon. Had to let my toes heal.
Tried out the Vibram 5-fingers for the first time. I think I'm going to like them. I was told that I normally run on my toes, so this is not a major change to my stride. One thing I do notice, is that I pay a lot more attention to the rocks and pebbles on the ground. Our road is "chip sealed", meaning they coated a once dirt road with tar, and then spread gravel over the top and rolled it. It is quite bumpy, and in the VFFs you feel these bumps quite a bit more than in my regular shoes. Going to start increasing the miles in these things gradually. Can't wait to try them on a soft trail sometime.

| My second run. Early evening after a rain around the neighborhood. Felt good...road is too bumpy. Maybe I'll get used to it. :) |

| Ran w/ Darin at lunch. The plan was to run 4 easy at 8:00, as this was only my 3rd run in the Vibram Five Fingers. Hit the first mile at about 8:00, then it sped up from there. Finished with a 7:00. Very slight blister on right big toe--but it will probably just be a callous in no time. Enjoyed running on the smooth concrete...much better than the bumpy road by my house. Also, took a few strides in the wet grass...not bad. 72F, 15MPH wind. AP: 7:31 HR: 150

| Ran at lunch w/ Darin. A storm had passed through, so it was a little humid, but not bad. 70F. Calves are very tight. Going to take a rest day on Thursday. AP: 7:50
