I’ve been running in Vibrams since the fall of 2009, so in April, when I signed up for FitWit, a very fun and challenging fitness camp here in Atlanta, my first question was, “Can I wear my Vibrams?”    They said, “Of course, a lot of our campers do!”   So, I’ve enjoyed the questions that other FitWitters have asked me, and forming a little bond with the other Vibram wearers in camp.

What’s telling is on those rare days I’ve opted not to wear my FiveFingers to FitWit, but to wear standard running shoes instead, I feel a bit like I’ve got two anvils strapped to my feet.  One day when I wasn’t wearing Vibrams, and we ended up doing sprints for time, I ended up running barefoot, because I knew the shoes would do me in.  I learned my lesson.
