The blister I developed yesterday wasn't too bad this morning.  I ran just over 13 miles on the Tigard HS/Home Depot loop.  Overall my body feels kind of trashed right now.  I'm almost temped to throw in the towel the next couple days and get feeling better.  I've been fighting a bug the past couple days and sleep has been cut into the past couple days with work and sick kid.  That's life...

These shoes felt better on their second run than they did on their first.  That's a good sign.

Have you seen the RunAmocs? I like them better than VFFs for comfort, but I don't know how a high mileage runner like you would like them. Hope you get your zip! back soon.

Thanks for the tip! I haven't heard of them but I'll check them out. Do you own both types of shoes?

Yes. The RunAmocs are very interesting. Too heavy when wet but very nice minimalist ride when dry. I like vffs but the toe pockets still bug me. I should wear them more to see if I can get used to it. I've worn neither for over 4 or 5 miles.
