A Curious Case of Five Fingers

Yes, it is going to be about five fingers, the walking / running shoes.  For the last couple years Tom has been wearing these for running and walking, claiming it is the best thing since sliced bread.  About a year ago I tried a pair and after 5 minutes of trying to put in each toe in a whole, I gave up and announced " I will never ever buy a pair."  Until today...Some things that we do or say in life are so dependent of our state of mind and soul.  I think I am getting older or younger, I am not sure which one should be attributed to that particular state of mind I was in that day.   Last Sunday we walked into Starting Block and I knew this is going to be a day of me walking out of the store with five fingers on.  And it was...I feel closer to Mother Earth when I wear them and I feel like I am learning to walk all over again.  I feel my "center" , the heart and the "it" of my body.  I have to be more balanced when I walk in them and never hill strike completely.  It is an addictive feeling, so much so that I cannot wait to get out of the house just to put them on again.. 
Crazy.  Here is Tom wearing his in the woods.
