I've worn my Vibrams a few times since I've gotten them. Really the only thing that has kept me from wearing them every time was that a screaming infant wanted his mama and I didn't want to take the extra time teasing him while I wrestled my Vibrams on.
What I love about my Vibrams:
1. My shin pain is gone. Completely.
2. My knees feel good when I wear them. Four miles in regular sneakers and I could feel the swelling in my knees. No problem at all in my Vibrams.
3. After I workout, I love the feeling of sore muscles. I know I've worked and my body is getting stronger. I have that feeling more in my Vibrams.
4. Its like running barefoot. Very liberating. I feel like a little kid again!
5. My feet feel tons lighter in my Five Fingers.
6. Moosejaw.com (that's where I bought them) has some pretty funny packaging, sort of worth buying from them to just to read their inserts. :)
What I hate about my Vibrams:
- I can't think of anything...other than that my sister makes fun of me every time she sees me in them. She'll get over it though!

Confessions #2
If you read my post yesterday, you'll know that we're having a hard time adjusting to becoming a family of three. Running helps me keep my cool, it gives me the quiet alone time that I need so badly. Running clears my head.
Needless to say, I haven't run on a regular basis yet.
Last Saturday (after a terrible week - one death in the family and one death of a friend so close they should be family, heartbreaking layoffs at work and a teething 7 month old) I lost my $h!t. I was late for the funeral ceremony, couldn't find my black heels, and nervous about the funeral.
While I was rushing out the door I shouted to my Main Man, "The (breast)milk is thawing in the sink but you'll have to wash a bottle." To which I'm almost certain he replied, "I'm not washing any TRucking bottles." (except he didn't say trucking!) He claims that's not at all what he said but regardless of the situation...I flipped.
Let's just say my flip flops quickly left my feet, the keys ended up under the couch and my iPhone landed on the couch! I ended up sobbing because I was so mad at my Hubbie and so frustrated with myself and that I lost my cool.
#2 - I need to get my poop in a group. My online friend, Michelle, has her poop in a group - she's very zen! Check her blog out - seemommywork.wordpress.com/

What's the moral of my story?
