I was hoping to get my Vibram Five Fingers yesterday, but they still haven’t arrived yet (I hear they’ll be in today or tomorrow at the latest). So, I headed out to the track again with an up-tempo 1.2 mile run in my Nike Frees to the CMU track (I just checked the distance on MapMyRun.com) to try to get a good picture for the masthead of this site.
My wife took about 20-30 pictures or so of me running on the track and on the infield and I think she ended up with one really good one that you can see as the header now. We had good lighting and the people playing softball that were encroaching on the track must’ve moved out of the way for us to get this clear shot, so I’m pretty pleased with it.
I’m out Thursday and Friday for a two day “retreat” with my company (team building exercises with a ropes course and all!), so I might be doing some barefoot walking in the woods, but probably won’t be trying to squeeze a run in.
Welcome to the barefoot world, Andrew. I can’t wait to read about your adventures. Good luck with your 5 minute mile. I’m sure it’ll happen sooner than you expect.
