Anyone doing the Southern California Half Marathon on Saturday?

I got sick twice in the last month and have just started running again
recently. I noticed that the tough skin on my soles started peeling
off after about a week of not running. I then started going on
barefoot walks and light runs, and somehow managed to get a cut for
the first time since this summer. My high-sensitivity hasn't returned
though, so that's good. I'm hoping to get in some good runs this week
before the half, and return to normal training later this month in
preparation for Surf City.

The race went a lot better than I thought it would. I still have the cut on the outside edge of my foot but it didn't bother me much during the race. I think I...

Dude! Way to go! I see BKB ran a 1:56. Not bad for an old guy (he's 5 months older than me!).   Hope you will be at Surf City. I'm venturing to guess that the...

Thanks. Yeah I will be doing my first barefoot marathon at Surf City. I did the half last year in the rain but was a shod runner then. I don't mind the rain,...

I have been going barefoot more and more but I usually wear sandals in public. I drive barefoot though. I got caught by the shoe police twice now for lifting...

... Let me guess: they told you you had to wear shoes in case you dropped one of the weights on your foot. As if a little bit of cloth would make a bit of...

I have run the Surf City Marathon twice in monsoons (once in 1999, back when it was called Pacific Shoreline Marathon) and again last year. It's not so...

No headphones here! The only barefooters I saw were the hula girls on the side of the course and a guy who pulled his shoes off after he finished. - Mike...
