My Feet are FREE!

Can I just say "OMG, OMG, OMG! My feet felt so free in my new running shoes!"  I was thinking "just get home and tell everyone about these shoes!"  What are they?  The Nike Free Run+ shoe that literally feels as close to being barefoot as I have ever felt.  I love to be barefoot, just ask my sister.  If she told me once growing up, she told me a hundred times, to wash my feet before bed.  Yes, we shared a bed and she wasn't too excited about my constantly black bottomed feet.
So about the shoes!  Literally the lightest running shoe I have ever had on my feet.  It was a bit weird at first because I am used to thick soles.  After a few strides I could actually feel my feet hitting the ground.  Like being a kid running down the street barefoot but with a little padding, thank goodness.  I ran my normal morning route to Starbucks and found on the way back, my calves were tired!  Yes, tired!  Different muscles than normal were being used and I like it!  If you haven't checked them out I encourage you to!  It is a totally freeing experience! No joke.
Happy Trails!
