Not much to report about last nights run. I got 6 laps around the track this time, and while it was after dark I managed not to step on any unseen obstacles. Beyond my 1.5 barefoot miles I also fit in another 8 miles shod. The barefoot training felt fine. My legs, or more specifically my calves, are getting much stronger, but my feet were still a little tender after the run.
My finance did go and try on a pair of the Five Fingers KSOs at Garry Gribbles this weekend. She said they were very comfortable. She did not purchase any (they didn't carry a color she liked), and I think she may partly be waiting for me to try them and provide a more in-depth analysis. I, for one, am waiting until I can get some more distance under my barefeet. I'm concerned that the amount of feedback I'm currently receiving from my feet when running might be reduced resulting in new problems from a poor running form. I do not want to trade one set of problems for others, and so for the time being I'm content with my barefoot track work.
