Second "barefoot" run

When I woke up this morning, I was surprised to find that I had some muscle fatigue in my ankles and lower calves from yesterday's 5-minute run. Fatigue from a 5-minute run?! It was the good kind of fatigue, though -- the kind you get after you've done a challenging run with a non-injured body. I'm really just that out-of-shape, and my body isn't used to the crazy non-shoes. So, since I didn't seem to be having any injury-related pain, I decided to do another 5-minute run today in the Vibrams. The run felt just fine. It does seem odd to go for such a short run; I have to remind myself that it's worth it to spend more time getting ready for the run than actually running. I have not had any ankle pain today, which is great. Tomorrow will be a recovery day.
