Victoria and I headed out to Coloma to show her the 10k course we will be running on Saturday. \u00a0Last Saturday we did the Dirty Secret Trail run in Cool and I wore my Vibrams. \u00a0I was fine the next day and on Monday we hit the trails again. I decided that instead of pushing my luck and wearing my Vibrams that I would try out a pair of minimalist street shoes. Normally I would wear my Brooks Cascadias, but I thought they might be a bit to heavy for me. I was still a little bit sore.<\/p>\n

I knew 2 miles in that I had made a huge mistake. The toe box is bigger on these shoes and my feet were not use to it. I couldn’t find my balance at all. I am also use to trail shoes and the grip they provide. These shoes were street shoes and had zero grip.<\/p>\n

At 3 miles I was already hurting. \u00a0They held up on the up hill and oh boy are there a lot of uphill. Going down was a whole new beast. \u00a0Normally I don’t have any problems, but I found that I was heel striking for a good mile. \u00a0I couldn’t stop it either. \u00a0If I tried to forefront strike I would want to squeal in pain. \u00a0The Vibrams have taught me the proper way of running and these shoes were begging me to do the exact opposite and at mile 5 I just gave up and ran like an idiot.<\/p>\n

The end of this beautiful trail has a great stream. My feet were sore and hot and I just ran right into them middle and stayed there until they were cool. \u00a0These shoes did not release any water at all. I made it back to the car still squishing around in them.<\/p>\n

When I got home I pulled them off and my feet were screaming at me. \u00a0I ended the night with having to ice my feet. \u00a0 I have ran barefoot for over a year and many times I have taken off my Vibrams and ran without anything on my feet. \u00a0I have never had this issue before. \u00a0Now the back of my thighs are sore too. \u00a0This is not good for Saturday.<\/p>\n

Just two more runs and then I get a weekend off before I have another round of races.<\/p>\n

Stupid rookie move with the shoes. Damn it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
