Hey there... I have tried Vibrams and I just didn't like them. I wear Brooks GTS Adrenaline series. I've never experienced anything like this pain today. I am normally a center-foot striker anyway and I can either do full run, walk, or a Galloway method.

I'm coming off a bad year for me. 2011 was 45 half marathons. 2012 was just 23 and a handful of fulls. I am planning some major resting in 2013.
