After I surpassed a self-imposed minute-per-mile mark, I rewarded myself with new running shoes -- the Vibram FiveFingers KSO.
Italian-made, the FiveFingers encourage a barefoot-style of running -- greater agility, shorter and 'bouncier' strides, increased balance, etc. So while promoting the barefoot sensation, the sole still provides protection from the ground.
I'm not going to lie, they certainly take some getting used to -- especially when you're trying to get each toe into its respective 'home,' but after a week or so, they slide on and are great fun -- at least for me. I haven't been stopped yet on a run, but it's a kick watching people try to figure them out.
Join us next week where our hero adopts a gorilla mask to complete his costume...

frankly, pretty creepy
I am so disappointed-- what's next...black socks with Teva's??
Don't be discouraged! Some people are just afraid to make their mark and continue to be generic. Keep on exercising, you've seen great results.
oh bryan... don't be upset because you're having conversations with your garage wall..
and i think any socks with sandals is a no go.
