Getting back into running- advice?

[Becky]

That's great! I just tried some VFFs on last night, and am in love! Santa, are you listening?

(But now I think I should wait for the KSO Treks...hmmm...)

I HATE the weight of my trail shoes, now. I am really bumming, too, because I have to do a trail race this weekend and I am planning on using the trail shoes. The VFFs require too much picky stepping to be running with 200 other people.

But I felt exhausted the last two times I ran in the Solomon's. Like my feet were wrapped in cement. It is really bumming me out. I love the VFFs but why oh why did I have to try them BEFORE my trail race?
