Today I took what is my last normally shod run (well ok the last 4 miles were bf but most it was shod). My nikes are officially being retired. I figure since this is a cutback week it is as good a time as any to ditch them. They have finally reached the point of hurting my transition rather than helping it so it is time for them to go.
Hopefully my huaraches hold me through on the trails until all the new minimal shoes come out otherwise I'm going to be forced to buy VFFs and my toes are going to be angry at me :-(.
I know most of you managed to go all bf/minimalist from the beginning but this is a rather huge transition point for me so I felt the need to share with people who'd understand the inability to run in shoes
