Barefootin' It -- What it is.

I've started "Barefooting". In this case, I'm referring to running with no support, as close to barefoot as possible. It's not purely barefoot running though, I use these: http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/products/products_classic_f.cfm
Vibram FiveFingers. There are other similar shoes available, but this is where I started.
I won't bore you with a lot of the history behind my decision to run barefoot. I've heard that I won the genetic lottery to train for 16 weeks with no base, and run a marathon with out a single injury to interrupt my training. So, it's not that I'm out to "fix" anything ailing me.
What follows are some notes about my experiences.
