Racing

The one thing that bugs me about this barefoot running thing is that I don't think I can ever race as fast barefoot as I could wearing shoes. I am trying to find an exception on my running club's summer series XC course, but it going to have to be a wet day! In 2003, Naz Merchant won barefooted @ 17:52/5K!

I am trying to maintain the perspective that I am doing it to run in races faster, to use it as part of
an overall training program, not to over-do or become some kinda local 24/7 Obe-Wan of barefooting. But I gotta admit, that is kinda happening anyway; it is like outa my conscious control....
