SICK & INJURED!
Pretty much 2 weeks of nothing!!
With the "man-flu" clearing up on Saturday, i took the opportunity while James was playing football, to take off the shoes and with inspiration from the Tarahumara (Yes, i've been reading Born To Run) do an impromptu barefoot run around the oval.
It felt great, natural, effortless, fast... So later that day i bought some Vibram Five Fingers "barefoot" shoes. Sunday arvo i went for an easy 2.5km run with Jamesy, and wore the Vibrams.
There was a little calf tightness this morning - but that could also be related to the 1hr TT style bike ride yesterday.
Anyway, i'm planning on making the transition to the barefoot shoes a gradual one. I'll do the bulk of my running done in my other shoes and slowly swing the percentage in favour of barefoot time as my legs allow.
Also managed a swim a couple of weeks back - first one since April. It didn't suck totally, which was great!
Cheers for now :)
