One bit of advice about the treadmill. IMO it is a useful training device because it allows you to focus on your technique without the concern of getting hit by a bus or stepping on something nasty. I run on the TM 2x a week after my Concept 2 rowing routine. I enjoy the ability to focus on my foot strike and quiet running technique. Don't watch TV while running on the TM. Watch your feet and make adjustments. Like you I prefer running outside but the TM does have its advantages if you choose to leverage them. Hope your pain has diminished and that you restart your running with a cautious routine.
I agree completely. I always enjoyed running on a treadmill. It takes so many variables out of running that you can jsut concentrate on form and just the run. |

Oh on a random note everytime I see TMTS I read TMNT or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Chuckle.
LOL. Same here. It must have something to do with being a product of the 80s. |

So be sure when you step.
Step with care and great tact and remember that Life's a Great Balancing Act.
Just never forget to be dexterous and deft.
And never mix up your right foot and your left.

I have been riding my bike some. I am really enjoying it. I think in a few days I am going to start back up with running. I want to start from the beginning of the c25k program and maybe double the amount for each week.
Today I went to REI to try on a pair of Jaya in a size 42. I think they might work although I am a little iffy about it. My big toe touches the end on the right foot. It is just barely touching. I don't think any of the toes are really jammed/bent in the shoe. I think I could get away with wearing them and I think overtime they might loosen up to be the right length. If anything I stretch the big toe out just a bit and it would be fine.
I took my 2nd pair of Brown Bormio boots back to the store. They were a size 43 and they were starting to get loose with out socks. I exchanged them for a size 42 in black.
Currently I own:
Bikila LS (Grey/Green-43)
KSO Trek (Black-43)
Classic SmartWool (Charcoal/Black-43) (Plus Three Extras since it is Discontinued)
Moc (Black-43) (Plus One Extra since it is Discontinued)
Trek LS (Black-43)
Bormio (Whiskey/Tan-43)
Flow (Black-43)
KomodoSport LS(Castle Rock/Navy/Gray-43)
TrekSport (Black/Red-42),
KSO Trek (Brown-42)
Bormio (Black-42)
I am thinking about the Jaya in red/white/blue or yellow and also the black/orage KSO.
I wish I could have the Sorrento (Penny Loafer) style now. I am most looking forward to that style during the next release.

Whoa...are you saying you are going to double the program workout each week? That sounds like a recipe for injury. No no I am going to take twice as long and repeat every week twice. Take 3 or 4 months instead of 2. Not the other way around. That does sound like it would be a disaster. |

Yea they were only 59.99 at rnjsports I could not find the black and orange color locally. I thought it looked striking but still subtle. Not as flash as the red remix which just scream HEY LOOK AT MY FEET!!!!!!! I also went by and picked up a brown Trek LS in a size 42 as well. Since they will not be around for long I figured I should stock up. I also tried on a speed. I had no interesting in buying it because I don't like the B&W color. I did notice that in a size 42 I felt like they were a bit tight in the heel. So I agree with others they tend to run a bit tight. Currently I own: Bikila LS (Grey/Green-43) KSO Trek (Black-43) Classic SmartWool (Charcoal/Black-43) (Plus Three Extras since it is Discontinued) Moc (Black-43) (Plus One Extra since it is Discontinued) Trek LS (Black-43) Bormio (Whiskey/Tan-43) Flow (Black-43) KomodoSport LS(Castle Rock/Navy/Gray-43) TrekSport (Black/Red-42), KSO Trek (Brown-42) Bormio (Black-42) KSO (Black/Orange-42) Trek LS(Whiskey/Tan-42) |

I got in the Black KSO yesterday. I like the color style... They seem to fit well with October. They are quite comfortable. Know I know why the KSO seems to be the gold standard. I am going to start running again soon. I feel like my foot is back up to spec. I am going to follow the coutch to 5k but double the amount of time I spend on each week. I may not follow the c25k program and I may end up using a custom program with my Sunnto Quest. It does a good job of keeping me in a target heart rate. I think if I use it and don't push myself to hard it may be a better choice. Also I am put the finishing touches on my article I wrote for Birthdayshoes.com main blog. Check it out: http://birthdayshoes.com/waterproofing-the-bormio-fivefingersI still love my Bormio boots. I am going to be putting together a video review soon I think. |
