    2018 Oakland Half Marathon

    What's up everyone! I haven't posted here or run any races for a while. This was my first road half-marathon since 2009. I ran it barefoot in 1:36:18. The course surfaces were really nice and smooth. I give it an 8/10 barefoot-friendly rating.

    I want some opinions...

    You know what they say about opinions but: A representative from a company making a wearable device that goes inside shoes has offered to fly me out to Europe to study my running form. What do you all think about that? I mean, about having my barefoot running form that I spent years...
