3.5 km last night in the Vibrams - partly just for exercise and partly to continue to assess them. I actually think the separate toe sleeves may detract a bit from the "natural" aspect as they hold your toes artifiicially slightly apart. They might actually be more natural if they were moccasins with a very thin sole - your feet would still make intimate contact with the ground and your toes could do what they wanted.
My legs got a bit sore, and I think it is because you are "putting on the brakes" with each stride, to place your foot gently on the ground rather than just plunk it down, as you would with cushioned or stiff soles, but presumably over time you get smoother at that. In fact walking the last bit home across a damp school field my legs felt much more relaxed.
