Ashley's new running shoes

Ashley has also been logging more and more miles on her skinny legs! She ran 2.5 miles a couple times this week and ran 4.25 miles with a 0.5 cool down walk the morning of my 10 miler. That said, we are both planning on joining RJay in the "barefoot revolution", however are taking a slow approach. I ordered Ashley a pair of Asic Montreals that were designed in the 70's. I admit I was looking for myself, but they had Ashley's size and not mine (mine is over $100 on Ebay, hers were less than $60 brand new). This particular model was used by marathoners in the 70's and has basically no arch and heel support compared to today's shoes. If you have read or are reading "Born to Run" you understand the appeal of this style shoe. She ran 2.5 miles in them today and said they felt pretty good. For myself I am currently looking at Asic Mexico 66's (worn by runners in the 68 Mexico City Olympics) and Puma Speeder M's (designed in the early 70's). After our feet and legs have adapted to less support we plan on transitioning to the Vibram Five Finger's that RJay is sporting. I will let you guys know how this works for us in case any of you guys are interested. For what it's worth I think these classic running shoes are much more attractive than today's clunkers.
