3.76 miles~SKORA shoes

Today was Tuesday.  After working all day (and telling myself that tonight I was running) I came home to find my new shoes had arrived.  I have been looking for a new pair to try.  I have a pair of Altras, which are ok, but not what I really need.  I have an issue with my heels, and some shoes will rub and cause blisters.  Since I take forever to heal on my heel (sorry, I couldn't resist) it isn't good.  I actually take a while to heal anywhere that I have sores, cuts, abrasions.  I've gotten myself checked out and it just seems that this is how I am.  I do have very thin blood, so I'm not sure if that is a part of it.
But I digress.  I ordered a pair of Skora Fits the other day.  They are barefoot running shoes that have a stretchy upper and a rounded heel.  I put them on and they felt great.  I hate to say anything too soon, so I just decided to run with them and then see how it is.  It actually felt very good.  I didn't get any blisters, nothing rubbed, and running and walking was easy.  I need to try them out for a few more runs before I make up my mind for sure, but right now, they seem to be a good pair.  
Oh, I did log 3.7 miles in about 48 minutes.  Pretty slow, but I didn't run the whole time, so a decent day.
