I went to bed late - disappointing because I was excited to get up this morning to try out my new shoes. But by 5:50, I just couldn't sleep any longer! It was great. After the 4 miles in the V5F and the 1/2 mile barefoot, I actually noticed the arch in my NB-790s while running home. There seemed to be a strange bump in the middle of my foot! I thought about doing the full 8 miles in the V5Fs, but decided that I didn't want to push it too hard - I'm not sure how one develops plantars fasciitis, but that is what many non-runners seem concerned about.
