5k race barefoot fivefingers

Principal 5K
By Tyler J L

As some of you may know, I'm doing the Principal 5K as part of the Des Moines IMT Marathon. Since it's going to be pretty cool the morning of the 5K, I'm going to put my insulated Vibram FiveFingers to good use since I don't want my toes to freeze.

My Posterity Footprint
I leave my footprint for you to see
the damage that shoes did to me.
My foot is no longer nice and wide
but narrow and cramped in shoes they hide.
No longer are my feet healthy and free
but diseased and sick, they bother me.
Take this as a lesson, so you may too
not be fooled into thinking shoes rule.
This is what society did to me.

So I did the Principal 5K today I started out wearing my insulated Vibram FiveFingers and did some warm ups. Afterwards I decided to take them off. There was also someone else who was barefoot AND shirtless. I ran some parts of it and some parts I walked. I ran to finish it off. My time all together was 40 minutes 3 seconds. I'm proud of myself
