    lol! I love my vibrams, but i usually just use them for walking the dog, running in them is still slightly terrifying.

    Definitely a crazy ninja… but you’ll have to change the name of your blog. I’ve never seen an “average athlete” with those sweet moves!

    I’m so intrigued by the Vibrams, but haven’t taken the plunge yet. Let me know how they work out!

    Side note – definitely crazy ninja.

    do you love them? They are on my wish list. I love the running colors, but my hubby suggests I go with the all black multisport.

    P.S. you are totally a ninja.

    You’ll have to review the shoes. I’ve had my eye on those exact ones for a while now. Worth it?
