Hey,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! My name is Andy and recently my girlfriend Kaitlyn and I went to Colorado to visit her parents. Coming from Texas,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the cool temperatures were a nice change from the humid Texas heat. While we were there,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we went to The Garden of the Gods near Manitou Springs. It was a great place to hike and there were many professional rock climbers there.
Last spring I took up running as a way to stay active and found out about Vibram Five Fingers through a friend. Wearing Five Fingers immediately made running much more enjoyable and I could feel my feet and calves getting stronger the more I ran. WOW,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! I definitely felt my calves in the beginning,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! I ran my first 5k in June with a 26 minute time. Since we were going to be in Colorado,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I figured,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], why not sign up for a race while we were there? So I signed up for the Heart and Soul Half Marathon in Boulder Colorado. It was pretty rough for me since I was not adjusted to the high altitude. I chose to run in my Nike Frees since I was unsure how my ankles and feet would hold up in Vibrams for 13 miles.
Next year my plan is to run the same race in Vibrams,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!
