So look what was delivered to my door the other day….
Yep, a pair of Vibram Bikila LS! Back in February my hubs and I won a pair from a charity auction at my son’s school. We had our choice of Vibrams and both selected the Bikila LS. In case you don’t know, the Bikila is Vibram’s first model specifically designed for running. I choose the Bikila LS because it has a quick lace system designed to accommodate a wider foot. Well, they arrived the other day and I walked around in them every chance I got all weekend. I was surprised at how comfortable they are, and they felt especially good wearing them post-run yesterday.
Since I’m taking baby steps towards minimalism, I’ll just be using them for walks for now. I may take them with me for my next track session in another week or so. I’ve been enjoying rotating in my new Saucony Mirages into my weekly runs, and with no knee pain over the past couple of weeks, I don’t want to do anything to jinx it. Patience is not my strong suit, but in the end I think it will pay off and help me to be a stronger runner.
Very cool that you won these. I’d really like to try them out. Hope they work well. From everything I’ve heard with starting in them, don’t run more than a half mile or so at a time the first few times. I’m sure just walking on them will be a good transition.
Fun! They look racy!
Awesome! I think you’ll love them..and so will your running!
I love the colors! I run in Vibrams for short runs and love they way they keep your form right!
You are the second person today that I have read about getting them. One of my running besties sent me a pic with a new pair on her feet. I am excited to see how your running is in them. It will be great to follow.
