Huntsville Half-Marathon (2009 November 14)
2009 November 19 (17:33)
categories: 11M to 15M, Vibram FF
I just did my first Half Marathon Barefoot Sat the 14th in Huntsville AL. Out of 900+ runners I was the only one Barefoot. I’ll run my first Full Marathon on the 28th of Nov in MS.
Back in 2008 I got a pair of the Vibram Five-Finger Classic and started running in those because I wanted to start running barefoot. But it was not until this year when I just took off the shoes for good that I was able to truely see what Ken Bob was talking about. If I had just took off the shoes and FFs almost 3 years ago things would have been much quicker. I know that most of us have to wear shoes at some point and I see that time as a good place to use the MINIMALIST footwear. Just kick them off before the run.

I had a friend run the Huntsville Marathon (shod). He said he followed a guy running in just socks (!). By mile 21 my friend said the socked one was hurting pretty bad; only running on peoples’ lawn and “ouching” over the driveways. Sounds like someone who didn’t train right.
