Just got home last night from the Boston Barefoot Running Festival. What an awesome time! The running was great but the people were better. Thank you Preston Curtis and crew for putting on a wonderful event meeting all of you was alot of fun. Thank you Ken Bob, Michael Sandler, Dr. Howell, Dr. Irene Davis, Dr. Stoxen, and Theresa Withee for sharing your knowlege and experiences with us. I would highly reccomend anyone from the experienced barefooter or minimalist runner to the curious non runner to attend next year you wont be disappointed. Jswan2011 and I drove 6hrs to get there and it was well worth it. It ended with a 5k with walkers 5 minute milers and everyone in between. I wish I remembered his name but the winner ran a 16:55 with a few others close behind. It was inspiring to see that a barefooter could achieve that kind of speed. And the individual stories from the other runners and first time barefooters was equally encouraging. See you next year!
