This morning we got to do something we've never done before, we went for a family jog! Jason and I used to run and jog when we were dating but he has had problems with his hip for awhile and has limited running to PT tests. However all that seems to have changed with his very own glass slippers, 5 Fingers. http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/Newsweek ran an article this summer describing the 5 Fingers as being so ugly they make Crocs look like Manolo Blahniks and I have to say, I agree. However they are easy to run in and have changed my running form so its kind of a neat experiment. We also both read this amazing book "Born to Run" by Christopher McDougall which promotes the benefits of barefoot running.
We had a nice run around Lanikai Loop and spent some time playing at the beach with the girls (Mermaid princesses continues to be the narrative of choice). I had gotten up ridiculously early to do the Dash and Splash race but had the best race I've had in a long time. I'm looking forward to more Five Finger training. The girls are already asking when can they get them too!
