I haven't posted in awhile, mostly because the Vibrams haven't been working out. I still would like to eventually use them exclusively, however that has proven to be difficult in a short period of time.
I rant the Grand Rapids River Bank Run in 1:58:06. It's a 25k (15.6 miles). This is as good as I could have hoped for, I was not able to run it in the Vibrams though. My left foot still cramps up terribly after about mile two. I have started jumping rope in hopes to alleviate this problem, but so far it hasn't helped much. I also have been running in my old shoes so much that I will have to slowly build my calluses back up on my feet. It has been a frustrating couple of months. I also have been running more often, and can feel my old injuries starting to come back. The days I run in short distances in the vibrams, I feel great.
I will continue to run in the vibrams when I am going short distances, but I don't expect to be running a lot in them anytime soon, until the issues go away.
MY GPS data for the River Run has been uploaded here
