With my left big toe feeling much better this morning, I headed back out in Vibram Five Fingers--this time with a flashlight--for another sub-6:00-am workout.  For this run, I jogged over to Big Cottonwood Park and completed one-and-a-half laps around the softball complex before heading back.  On the return trip, I discovered what and how I stubbed my toe the other day; that is, it was a manhole cover and since I was running with little foot-support, I was dragging my feet to reduce the poundage.  As a result, I need to pickup my feet--lesson learned.  The total distance of this morning run was 1.6 miles at an easy pace.

Following work, it was back to the treadmill where I ran total of 4.6 miles.  I regards to this distance, I was able to pick up the pace and complete 2.2 miles at marathon pace while the rest was at an easy pace.

For my non-running workout, I completed 200 sit-ups, 27 push-ups, and 60 (50, 40, 30 lbs) curls, and 20 (50 lbs) reverse curls.

What do you think of the Vibrams? I love my pair of KSO's. Yeah the dog bite stinks! I am going to call the doc and see what's up. The owner came over and apologized just now. I said no biggie. Was just startling to see 80 pounds of dog jumping through the air at me you know?

I also have a pair of KSOs and I absolutely love them! However, it does take a little while to get use to running with them outside (i.e., I started wearing them on the treadmill and about a month ago ventured outside with them). Also, I'm thinking about getting a pair of the Fiver Finger Flows (i.e., the ones that are more water resistant) for running outside this winter. Have a great weekend!
