· 26 Aug '08 ·

Oh my word, the South Africans have just been given a complete pasting by England in the 2nd One Day International at Trent Bridge. SA were all out for 83 in 23 overs and England replied with 85 for 0 in 14.1 overs. I don't think I want to watch the highlights tonight; it'll just be embarrassing.

Well, it's nearly a month now since I got my Vibram Five Fingers and I'm happy to say I'm still very impressed with them. More importantly, I'm also still injury free and starting to really notice my feet adapting. To get a true reflection of the effects of running in the Vibrams, I've run exclusively in them.
