Hey all!
I much more of a lurker around here but wanted to let everyone know that I am going to run my first 1/2 marathon in my trusty Vibram KSO's this Sunday. Not expecting much except a finish (which I guess will be a PR).
I have been going the VFF route for the last 6 months or so and the longest run I have had in them has been just about 12 miles (and I felt great on that run but should have put Glide on, ouch). I am working my way up to a full marathon this December (the CIM) with a goal of an ultra next year.
Wish me luck and I will let y'all know how it turns out!

Just got back from the 1/2 marathon and it went awesome!
Feet felt great the entire time and were just a little sore on the soles afterwords. One tiny blister but it is going away as I type.
I ran it with my wife and we paced each other so I didn't try and overdo it on the speed. Also, anytime during the run when I started to get any sort of discomfort I just listened to my body, relaxed and went back to running silent (I noticed that when I couldn't hear my own footfalls that things felt the best).
Now to take a day off and then slowly work up to the marathon in December...
Thanks for the well wishes!
