So today was a day of what I'll call "pleasant tightness" in my calf muscles. My legs knew I did something yesterday, but had no complaints. I really, really, really wanted to hit the trail by my house! Unfortunately, everything I've read says this is not a good idea. So, today's conditioning was one set of 100-Ups (
see NYT video posted yesterday under "Shout Outs") and a 45 min walk on my treadmill (it was raining all evening). Not particularly satisfying, but I'll consider it breaking in my new minimalist toe shoes...sigh...
I found a couple of other beginner resources, both of which cautioned against over exuberance. They are
Barefoot Running Reviews and
Zen Habits, the second is a little more into the barefoot lifestyle...being one with the earth and all that. Not exactly my cup of tea, but worth a look.
Disclaimer - I am neither 6 yrs old nor Asian, but couldn't resist the cute pout.
