Today I did the first 8 running minutes of my working in my new Vibram FiveFingers (VFF) Bikila LS! Totally different way of running and feeling, and I loved it. My legs were feeling a bit heavy and sluggish from my workout + busy day yesterday, so I was a bit nervous. I focused on foot placement, landing placement, and keeping my feet and legs soft and light. I really wanted to run the whole thing in my VFFs, but I did that once before and was so incredibly sore for many days after. I did have some small amount of foot twinge, and I wasn't sure if it was because of the VFFs or because I'm still so new to running and my feet are still adjusting.

Thus far, my legs feel fine, as do my feet. Whatever twinges I felt are gone now. Tomorrow is an off day for me, but I'm actually looking forward to running on Sunday and seeing what I can do. Since I've been running in the morning, thus far I've been doing all treadmill workouts. I might try running outside on Sunday - we will see what the weather is like, and how much motivation I need to HTFU.
