After work I knocked out 4.5 miles on the treadmill before heading home and out for an evening run.  Having left me Vibram Five Fingers in my locker, I slipped on my Nike Frees for this second run which took me up to Saint Mark’s Hospital and back by way of Big Cottonwood Park for a distance of 2.2 miles at an easy pace.

It was a condensed non-running in that I completed just 300 sit-ups and a 100-second wall sit.

My daughter just bought some of the finger shoes. She got a stress fracture a while back...had to go through a lot of bone test, etc. (long story) and finally had to get orthotics, new shoes and they recommended the finger shoes for just wearing around to help strengthen her ankles. I know they sure look funny....but kinda cool.:)

Preston, it's interesting to learn that they recommended Five Fingers for your daughter. I love them and just purchased a new pair this Saturday. However, you have to be careful with them because they gave me a good case of PF a few years ago; that is, I got up to running a 10k in them outside, but I think I increased the mileage a little too fast. Happy Monday!

Yes...they told her "not" to run in them...just walk. What's PF?

PF is just my abbreviation for plantar fasciitis (i.e., I can barely say it munch less spell it).

Ha...Ha...I'm sorry I asked, no telling how long it would have taken me to figure out how to spell that....:)
