You should be VERY PROUD!!!

Th...Thanks you guys for all the positive comments. They really buoy me up! <br /><br />Cammy, I have the kso's, and I love them. They make running so much fun. Time just flies by, and you have to be careful not to go farther than your feet and legs are ready. I heard the sprints are nice too. They just came out with one specifically for running called the Bikila. A neighbor has been running in those for about 6 months and loves them. <br /><br /> Mine have worn very well. I've put about 300 miles on them, and they seem just as good as the day I bought them. There is a guy who blogs about his vibrams. He keeps a log of his running miles and he was up to 900 last I checked. Regular running shoes need to be replaced about every 3-4 months...depending on how many miles you are putting on them. With Vibrams, the more miles you put on them, the better they feel. I think the only reason you would need to replace them is if they rip or get a hole. Mine are doing just fine, but I have heard of people having to sew closed little holes in the fabric parts. <br /><br />I don't wear socks with mine. My feet were too fat to fit socks, otherwise I was planning on running in socks. Now though, I enjoy being barefoot so much in them that I couldn't imagine wearing socks. I don't get sweaty in them, but they will start to stink after a while. THe good news is that they wash really well, and a lot of people have two pair so they can wash them after every run then use the other pair while the first is drying out. I wash mine about once a week, and that seems to work just fine. Usually on Saturday so they are dry before my Monday run. <br /><br />Call me if you get some. There are some important things to know before you start running in them in order to prevent injury. Oh, and I would buy them from REI. They have a 100% guarantee, so if you don't like them, you can return them any time, even if you have used them for a couple of months. I bought two different sized online and then had them sent to my house. Shipping was free because of our rei membership, but if you don't have one, you can still have it sent for free to rei and pick them up there. I used one of the pairs for about 1 months, and then tried the other pair, and like the fit much better so I sent the first pair back and got a full refund. Nice huh! That way you can be sure to get the right size.<br /><br />Wow, that was a mouth full. <br /><br />Anyway, I love you all! Thanks for all the support and kind words. You all make me want to be better.Marcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031872845256944568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483208361465627515.post-10101022409494097392010-10-10T08:15:59.865-04:002010-10-10T08:15:59.865-04:00Wow Marci, terrific time.
