Tri-ing to stay young!

I take back what I said last blog about the new Vibram five fingers that I am now running in. I went for my first two outside runs in them yesterday and they performed exceptionally. My first outing was an easy 5.5 miles with my friend Tom. Usually we are about equal in our running but yesterday, I easily stayed ahead of him, especially on the hills. The second run was a tougher 5 miler with the YTri group. Needless to say, I didn’t keep up to the first half of the group but I did stay much closer than I usually do. The only problem that I have noticed the Vibrams is that the sole is surfaced with a softer rubber that tends to grab if I drag my foot. A stubbed toe from lazy running could cause a fall in these shoes if you are not careful. The good part is I won’t get away with lazy running any more!
Talk to you soon;
