Ran my first competitive 5k
Ran my first competitive 5k since highschool (late 80's) this morning. Race for the Cure down on the waterfront in Portland. My wife, daughter and I ran it in memory of a dear friend who passed away at a very young age recently from breast cancer. While I was running I asked her for help and man, was she there with me.
I PR'd by a minute in 17:36. Never ran that fast in high school and now at 40 and truly BF I have done it and I'm over the moon. :bigsmile:

Just noticed this, all I can think to say is "na na na na, I'm faster than you......"
But seriously, didn't see your time, I was just so excited that I broke the 26 minute mark and I had gravel to deal with to boot.
Next time we will both have to break the 25 minute mark. :bigsmile:

Dude that's awesome! Good job! Wished I could have been there. What was the fastest time for that race?
paintboy said:WooHoo. Just ran the Merril Naked foot 5k. 23:26 I was hoping to get near 25:00 but I guess this will do.

My first race barefoot was
My first race barefoot was last Sunday, in Dresden, Germany:
"13. Morgenpost Dresden Marathon", check out "Ergebnisse/2011/Halbmarathon/#21585".
I ran the half marathon barefoot in 1:31:16.
It´s a flat course on asphalt. I shattered my shoe-PR by more then 5 minutes even though I started the transition to barefoot running less then a year ago. I´m totally surprised and excited about that. Thank you very much, Goddess of Barefoot Running, you treated me very kindly! I also almost immidiately started thinking: "Wow, if I could do this, what else is possible? I really need to know..."
So. Here we go.
Next year (30th of September, 2012) we´re going to race Berlin Marathon.
3 guys of the BRS Germany Chapter already signed up for it (Paleo, jlubkoll and me, joohneschuh), so why don´t you join us and have some fun together?
Isn´t this a #1 opportunity to visit our beautiful German Capitol AND meet some of the coolest barefoot runners in the whole ... uh ... world BRS Germany Chapter?
Be quick, people are signing up for it superfast (20000 entries already in the first couple of days). We can figure out any details later, like how to meet, whom to run together with, where to party, and so on. It´s going to be amazing!

I haven't race in 8-9 years
I haven't race in 8-9 years and I never raced anything smaller than a 10k while shod. I just did my first 5k and I did it completely barefoot with a time of 27:32. It's a PR because it's a first for me but I know I can run it faster once I get in better shape.
