Well, crap, I actually ran! Ran most of the way in my new Huarache running sandals and after the cord began to dig in a bit too much, I took 'em off and did the last 1/2 mile or so barefoot. ... read more

Good walk. Warm weather, lots of people out to say 'hi' to. New mix on my I-Pod for the occasion. Still walking for another week or so.

Just a walk, getting acclimated to being active again and wishing it were warmer.

Really? My frozen legs and toes require some persuading. I still wear shorts, even in winter - and ran at 3p today to get the peak of the 'heat'. You must be warm-blooded, LS.

I am actually very cold-blooded, except when it comes to running. You just have to run a mile or so to get used to it. Gloves always (when it's below 40), and I'm fine, even in shorts!

I think as long as you run short distances to build strength and get muscles used to work and have a good stride and no injuries, it's totally fine. I messed myself up in racing flats not because of the flats, but because I had a slight injury going in, and the whole concept of a flat falls apart when you're injured or your stride is altered. I am a natural midfoot/toe runner, too. Glad you're enjoying your FitWit.

Sorry about your injury, Laura, but your experience is reassuring. A lot of purists argue against going back to a regular running shoe after you've transitioned to minimalist/bf, but when I've got a foot or leg injury, the support while exercising feels safer. They come off when I get home, but it just seems like it provides the protection necessary to avoid further stress/damage.
