"Mommy, can I get some shoes and cut the bottom out of them for my fun run at school next week -- because I don't think they'll let me run barefoot."
Sadly, I dont think we'll be able to make that work. I told her she'll just have to run in her Feelmax Osmas. So she suggested at least removing the insoles from them -- which we attempted and found that they're glued in, so that's not an option.
I gave her 3 choices:
1) Suck it up and run in the Osmas.
2) Start the run in the Osmas, pull them off after the first lap (1 lap = 1/6 mi) and keep running. The risk is they'll make her stop and put them back on. The likelihood is they'll just her continue. I'm planning to volunteer at the run, so I can try to run interference.
3) We could ask permission ahead of time (including providing resources as to why BFR is not a bad thing), but if they say no there's no choice but to run in shoes.
She picked option 2. The run is next week. I'll let you know how it goes.
Peace,
Karen
