Barefoot Golf, never thought of that, doh. I use my Vibrams on the course, maybe I will have to take them off next time I am out.
Running up a busy canyon road, I see a car pull into a turnout up ahead. A lady at least 7 months pregnant gets out of the passenger side, dodges traffic to traverse the road. As I approach she says "Are you doing that on purpose or do you need help?" After a couple minute chat about why I am running barefoot, I thank her for her concern and wish her safety crossing back over the highway. I continue my run and give the husband, who was slightly slouched down in the driver's seat embarrassed, a friendly wave.
I think I need to pick up the pace a little. Maybe she thought I was a zombie because I was moving so slow. Or someone jumped me and stole my shoes. Who knows? Friendly, concerned people, love em.WOW. Craziest reaction yet---seriously??!!!! Crossing traffic to ask?!
Doesn't she know that in the horror movies, people only run half barefoot after losing a high heel running from the killer? And they're usually blond and bloody and it's usually the middle of the night close to a swamp............and I assume you didn't have that look?
I run shirtless and barefoot. A guy recently spotted me and said "Sh*t, that's how its done." as I was running towards him. All I could do was laugh.
A bib would solve that problem - but would that be for the first, or second, childhood?Perfect!
I just wish you wouldn't use YouTube. It's like a hall of mirrors for me and I always get stuck going from video to video until my saliva shorts out my keyboard.

I've had this a couple of times. Kind of freaky.the occasional police officer who slows down to check me out.
I was running in Central Park this morning, going against the flow of a 10,000 runner 1/2 marathon, and I heard the word "Barefoot" so many times it reminded me of this
Yah, it's always a bit dubious to assume someone's expression reflects thoughts about you. That driver could've been thinking about an employee's screw-up, or a fight with his spouse, or how his team missed a goal, etc. We're never as important to others as we think. Still, you're a badass barefoot runner so you were probably making him feel inadequate.I had the weirdest experience this morning. It was just fleeting - a car was turning into the street in front of me and the driver saw me, did a double take and then and angry scowl spread across his face before he turned. It was almost like I had violated some precept of his or something and angered him.
Of course I have no idea what was really going on in his head - maybe he spilled coffee in his lap or something, but it was certainly not the reaction I expected.
