Last week I did my first and maybe last run on a treadmill completely barefoot. It was a really odd feeling having that belt under my feet.  It kind of hurt and rubbed the bottoms of my feet til they were pretty tender. I guess that's what you can expect from not having shoes on, but something tells me I would have enjoyed it much more OUTSIDE instead of on my mom's treadmill. Other than that, it was a pretty good run. I was able to set the speed and challenge myself at keeping the same pace. 

I gave my feet a little rest after that and when I got back to NY from Mom and Dad's, I kicked it into high gear. I ran my route, added another half mile and killed it. I ran so fast, I made myself sick. I find it easier to run faster in the vibrams, because when I keep a slow pace in them I start heel striking and landing too heavy on my feet and then my shins get a little sore. When I mid foot strike and hit 180 times a minute, I'm cruising. I added in some sprints as well, which always makes a difference in my work out. I woke up pretty sore today in the legs. I really wore myself out! I think I will do the same today:)
