oh i just mean so late, after they got sued for false advertising and had to pay some millions of dollars to people who'd bought the shoes.

i went through the whole cycle with fivefingers, similar to with crossfit but less extreme: devotee-->hardcore opponent-->measured observer. they can be very beneficial, and they can completely fuck you up. although i have no real evidence for it, i think they hastened the onset of my arthritis. they transfer stress that is customarily focused on the knee to the ankles and feet and if you're not very careful that can and does lead to chronic and acute injury. personally i feel that for most people, they're probably better for walking around in or scrambling/hiking in than for running.

basically, caveat emptor, don't expect them to work miracles or be all that great. if you adjust to them carefully you might really enjoy them and have many years of healthy running in them. they're certainly better than running barefoot when all you've got to run on is asphalt and concrete. but you might also get achilles tendonosis.

the science of sport guys have written extensively and very well about the debate around barefoot running and VFF in particular. latest article is from just after the lawsuit settlement: http://www.sportsscientists.com/2014/05/vibram-lawsuit-barefoot-running-common-sense/

I have one project that I never really mentioned, it's been on my mind alot over the last few years. I want to open a "half boxing gym, half hacker dojo". The fusion of athletics and nerdom is something I'm very interested in. The same dedication/passion we bring to athletics/training carries over directly to our intellectual goals (which is where we will most likely see our career/financial success).

pC dude

Can't believe I missed this, I love the idea of the project, training is a hobby and the nerd training hacker for career cos you shouldnt soley rely on athletics as to bring food to the table just my opinion. There is def more career and financial success in IT or engineering , hacking computer skills in this case than sports, unless you are exceptioon ally good like Floyd pacquiao etc

I would come to that cyber gym lol

Definitely love the idea

Breaking News
Mayweather said he is going to fight maidana again September 13, rarely have I seen him give a rematch unless he is confident.

and he continues in same interview with

"And then in May, I am fighting in May. I have a big surprise for you all. Everybody, tune in,"

Everyone is shouting pacquiao Lol I hope

Got my Vibram's (Biklia's) yesterday..... DAMN. I couldn't run slow in them. It almost felt like I was in shape.

Ran ~1 mile to feel them out. Definitely made my feet/lower legs a bit sore. So far so good, really enjoyed running in them.

Really happy.. Didn't journal it but, last thursday (07/03) I reinjured my calf running in my new nb minimus trail's (they put my foot into some nice dorsiflexion). So this really old calf tear injury resurfaced, couldn't run at all.

So today:

3.5 mile  run, nice and relaxed.
- listened to a really nice erlang lecture.

whew.
