On Sunday I went for my first run in the VFFs! It was really weird. It felt starnge running on pavement, nearly barefoot but having it be okay. I preferred to run on the grass, which did mean that some water got into the shoes, but my feet didn't feel cold
After two miles in the VFFs I stopped at home and swapped shoes to my regular running shoes. I didn't want to hurt my feet too much due to using new muscles etc. While running, my arches felt really engaged in a good way. So I put on my regular sneaks on, and WOAH! It felt like I was running on marshmallows. And not in a good way. But I did the rest of my run (about 4 more miles) and returned home.
The next day- my calves were sore. My arches were fine. I think I should have run in the regular shoes first, but at this point, I might not run in regular shoes ever again.
Anyway, Raviv gave me his cold for his birthday so I'm keeping this post short because my head feels like it will explode. Also- I think this means no running for the next few days.
