SPRINTGPS - New Activity
http://bit.ly/gNZ7VA
Ran 9km today with my fairly new Virbam barefoot 5-fingers shoes. Big mistake. Have been to eager to increase the distance instead of gradually build up the distance as recommended by experienced friends. Was thinking of doing 10km today. After 8km, felt pain on the left foot. But was stubborn and pushed on for another 1km to a total of 9km. Felt more pain and decided to stop. Should have stop at 8km when the pain was first felt. Have to listen to the body.
Now limping along with my injured left foot. Hope no bone fracture. Likely cartilage or muscle tear. Could be out and down for 2 to 3 weeks. That really sucks.
Did 7km with this barefoot shoes last Monday. Today bumped it up to 9km... a bit too soon and too fast an increase I guessed. Need to let the body adjust to this new barefoot shoe, which has almost zero "shock absorption" protection like normal shoes used to have.
