Running Shoes

I was reading a post, http://thelovelylist.blogspot.com/2010/07/links-day-4-roundupremember-those.html, from Krystal where she mentions new running shoes.  This inspired me to share my new shoes with you.  I know these are UGLY, but I really don't care.  You have probably already seen them on some other blogs.

These are the Vibram FiveFinger Sprint Shoe.  You can check out the website, http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/products/products_footwear.cfm, for info on all the different products they offer.  These shoes basically protect your feet while you run barefoot.  My first run in these shoes was great.  I felt very light and free, I ran two miles and felt like I could keep going.  The company suggests that you ease yourself into running by going small distance, give yourself a little break and gradually increase your distance.  The next two days after my run, my calves were so sore, I could hardly walk.  I think these shoes are fun and worth checking out.
