Today I ran 1.5 miles in my fives. I think I'm falling in love. My legs felt great - no heaviness, no aching bones, no creaks and grinds. There is still just a muscle fatigue ache in my left lower calf, which I'm sure is just a result of using a new muscle - hence the shorter distances.
But, my running is lighter, more propulsive, springier and easier. I only did 10 min miles, but felt no real physical effort other than that dull ache in my calf. I'm so curious to see how I feel on a longer distance that I can barely wait to try it, but I'm determined not to cause myself an injury and jump in too quick.
I've also got to a point where I feel that I could confidently wear my fivefingers out and about without feeling like a weirdo, because I can genuinely say now that I think they're amazing. I've even thought about getting a pair to wear like slippers in the house. Sad? Quite possibly!
