Vibram Sprints

About six months ago, I read about Vibram FiveFingered Sprints on a blog.  I think the blog was written by Sarah Jio, but am not sure.  I was interested enough to go to their website:  http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/.  After six months of looking at their website, I decided--Yes I WANT THOSE SHOES!!

The store locater indicated there was a vendor in Las Vegas - fortunately, that is but a hop, skip, and a jump from here.  So I called to see if they had the style I wanted.  Nope but he was expecting a large shipment in the next week. We scheduled a trip to Vegas.

Here they are:

I got these shoes yesterday and wore them to the gym today.  For the first time I was able to run for 14 minutes on the treadmill.  The most I have done previously is 2 minutes so I am pumped!! 

I want to run and I saw these shoes on the Dr. Oz show, he demonstrated running the way our ancestors did.  Short strides with more pressure on the front of your foot.  It just looked right to me so I am trying that.

And one of the best things about going to Vegas for two day, I maintained my weight!!

I can, I will!!
