    Onto Speedier Things: My new Half Marathon Goal in my VFFs

    As I reviewed my new training plan I was a mix of excitement for a new challenge and a side bit of fear that I may injure myself in this process. First off it wasn't the overall training load per week that kind of freaked me out, nor was it the interesting mix of hill repeats, speedwork, tempo...

    Bluenose Marathon Race Report - My First Marathon in VFFs!!

    The day began with next to no wind but a scary threat of rain and a temperature of 10C (or 50F). As a member of Team CBC I got ready just a little early so I could meet my brother and running partner then find the CBC team booth in the race reception area. Everything went off without a hitch...

    Fellowship of the Morton's Toe

    Hi All,  Thanks again for Hi All, Thanks again for all of your input and suggestions. In the past week and a half I've had xrays done, with one doctor saying MN, and the specialist she referred me to saying it was a second metatarsal stress fracture. It's been a pretty frustrating road, and...

    Fellowship of the Morton's Toe

    Getting closer to a Getting closer to a diagnosis! This morning I had xrays done to rule out a stress fracture. Yay! Nothing was found. The doctor thinks it could be a neuroma and I've been given an appointment with an orthopedic specialist for next Thursday. Usually it takes months to see one...

    Fellowship of the Morton's Toe

    Hi All,  I've been running Hi All, I've been running in minimalist shoes since August this year and have worked up to running 50% barefoot and 50% in VFFs. For a week or so now I've been noticing a pain on the top of my foot, just below my Morton's toe. The pain is also underneath, on the...

    Running Unleashed

    This morning I hit the roads for the first time in 3 weeks. It felt WONDERFUL to be outside again, even with the blustery winds and driving rain, I was happy. I've been resigned to treadmill running for the past 3 weeks while my husband was away so I could keep an eye on our daughter. I didn't...

    Comment by 'vibramchic' in 'Changing Minds'

    Changing Minds

    I had a neat conversation with a woman this past weekend about barefoot/minimalist running. She noticed me wearing my VFFs and asked if they were comfortable. I told her they were like wearing a second skin for me, and I've run as far as 20km in them. Her jaw just about hit the floor. "20kms?"...

    New Barefoot PB!

    Saturday my VFFs got a good 30 minute workout on the indoor track at the sportsplex where my daughter takes ballet and swimming. After a week on the treadmill it was really nice to actually move forward when I run. I think I did 4-4.5k on the track, so in my VFFs that's not too bad. I would have...

    Why I chose to go minimal

    I started running 3 years ago, like many people, to lose some serious weight gain after having my daughter. I read everything on running I could get my hands on, listening to the advice that my feet needed "help" and the running shoe companies had the answer in stability running shoes. I bought...

    Hello from Nova Scotia!

    I'm a 30-something Mom of one who loves her vibrams! I've been going between my Vibrams and going totally barefoot for about 3 months now. Whenever someone asks me about wearing my Vibrams my husband always speaks up and says" Oh she doesn't run in anything else now. Running shoes are bad for...
