I got my invisible shoes yesterday and I pulled the lace incorrectly and ripped the inside ankle hole on the right foot. I end up punching a new hole a 1/4” under it.  Would this cause any problem?  Is there a better place to punch a new hole? Right now the hole is not in front of the ankle anymore but in line with it. 

First Run Impression

I skipped the warm up phase and jumped right into one of my regular runs yesterday.  I just couldn’t help myself……. It took about 5-10 minutes to get use to the new sensation I was feeling, but boy did it feel good.  Everything was great up to 15-16km and I was loving every second of it, but by the 18km I had to stop.  The heels were slipping to the side and I was stepping on the outer edge of the sole at every strike (probably doing this for a few km but didn’t notice it), and I developed sore spots right behind the second toe. (Both sides had it but it was more pronounce on the left foot……. I tend to drive into the ground with my forefoot when I want to go faster and believe that’s what caused the sore spots) Next to that my back was a bit tight but no other problems at all.

Tell you what Steve I think I’m in love with the shoes. I got home after the run yesterday took a shower and put the huaraches back on, I woke up made a coffee this morning and put them on, I went on a run today with my flats and whole time I was thinking –man my feet are soaked-

I can’t wait till the sore spots heal up so I can run in the huaraches again.  I’ll remember to pay a bit more attention to my form, especially when I start to fatigue.
