Starting to get a bit spooked out by the length of the recovery and thinking that I'm really living on the edge - but I don't regret my decision, it allowed my toe and blisters to heal while I managed to squeeze in a last long-ish run.Ririnettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08655714425760755697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061247060314874235.post-58325804167894049122012-10-09T08:27:40.756-04:002012-10-09T08:27:40.756-04:00So of course, don't wear them!

Do you ever run on a treadmill? Once you begin training in minimal shoes, you may even want to try barefoot <br />(says the gal who LOVES her old lady NB stability shoes!)!

I have been reading about transitioning for a little while now and came across this article, which explains very well what the real danger is: ourselves. We are our worst enemy when it comes to addictive feelings and I have already made pace with myself since yesterday that I should be patient and not rush into running a marathon in these shoes after wearing them once, even though there is no break-in period needed. My calves are saying it out loud: lay off the miles, we aren't ready yet! I am already looking forward for the pain to subside, but this is a great indicator of the effort I would have had to put in during the marathon. Not a good idea, indeed.Ririnettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08655714425760755697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061247060314874235.post-91249793038408860922012-10-08T10:29:34.660-04:002012-10-08T10:29:34.660-04:00My Vibrams changed my life.

I could never go back. <br /><br />DEFINITELY DON'T WEAR THEM IN THE MARATHON THOUGH! Minimalistic shoes take a lot of time to get used to, no matter how well you feel now.

I don't ever want to put on my old Asic Cumulus again! I'm not kidding when I say that my first run in the kinvaras - the IT band tightness I'd been battling since the dawn of time (ok - since February) just floated away from my leg after the first kilometer and hasn't returned!<br /><br />Enjoy your new shoes! It's too bad you didn't discover them a month ago!Cori @ Read.Write.Run.Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15646363259912948304noreply@blogger.com
