Running Barefoot in Vibram KSO Shoes

I ran barefoot for part of last summer and the early fall. But my transition was the opposite of yours - I went from conventional shoes to barefoot to Vibram KSO Shoes.

Currently, I'm running barefoot on the treadmill and in Vibram fivefingers kso outside. I'll run barefoot outside as soon as the weather's warm enough. I don't like cold weather running at the best of times, and have no desire at all to run barefoot in the winter. I'm hoping that all this barefoot treadmill work will allow me to transition to running barefoot outside without having to drop my distances at all. If all goes well, I'll do most or all of this season's races barefoot in Barefoot running shoes.

My second long run in as many days. 22K this morning in my Five fingers kso. all the details in my blog . Back in the v5s this am - my feet still sore from yesterday's barefooting - i sealed up cuts with krazy glue - i love that stuff - and hit the road for my run - feeling good now.
