    Comment by 'smileyfootjamie' in 'RnR Las Vegas Half Marathon'

    I'm just saying I personally had a great time, it was my first so I have nothing to compare to. I'm not defending Cometitor/the Rock n Roll series for their shortcomings. I know there were a lot of issues... I just didn't have any personally

    RnR Las Vegas Half Marathon

    I successfully completed my first half marathon last night with a time of 2:00:38!!! I had a blast and loved every minute of it! Aside from practically dying during the last few miles. ;) But running through the STRIP and NIGHT was spectacular. There were SO many people (44k) - it was just a...

    Six more days!!!

    SIX more days untin RnR Vegas. My first half! I am SOOOO excited and slightly terrified. I'm not scared of running 13 miles... I'm scared of being mobbed by 44,00 people and unimaginable chaos! Anyway. :) I'm wearing my older pair of vibrams, Jayas, because I've found that my form detiriorates...

    So Hot

    My feet definitely need some work when it comes to hot pavement. I can tolerate the heat (we actually had a contest at the lake to see who could stand barefoot in the hot sand for the longest time) but I'm afraid of actually burning myself. Mostly I''m just concerned about pavement because I...

    hardly running

    I have hardly ran or hiked at all since my 8k. I miss it and feel like I should have made it a priority, but I'm a swimmer above all else so I've just been swimming a lot. Been so busy with schoolwork, finals, ACTs, SATs, APs, plus all my extracurriculars: 4-h and meetings, getting a new lamb...

    Loving my new VFFs

    The past couple weeks I've been running mostly in my new(ish) vibrams (jaya model) and I am in love. Of course it isn't as fun as going barefoot, but sometimes I just want to RUN and not worry about chipsealed roads or getting goatheads in my feet. To put it simply sometimes I am just lazy...

    Sick of this Crap!

    I don't really care about I don't really care about speed because I run for pure fun! The last 5k I did (first barefoot race) was a pathetic 33 minutes but I walked a bit on the uphills and stopped 3 times to take my socks on and off. Lately I've been running approx. 5 miles and it takes me...

    lovely inclement weather run

    After the amazing weather we had all week (mid to high 70s), last night it snowed! I'm not a fan of cold weather but once the snow melted it was gorgeously cloudy and wet outside and the first thing on my mind was PUDDLES!!! =) I headed out for a run wearing my vibrams for the fist time. I set...

    Surveying your route

    Eeew I hate chip-seal! Most Eeew I hate chip-seal! Most of the roads in my town are chipseal, withOUT sidewalks, and we don't have grass. Just dirt with thorns in it. But I've gotten to know the neighborhood I run in pretty well so I know which roads are harder and how long I will have to be on...

    skeptics

    I think it's funny when people are skeptical of me running barefoot. Most people that ask me about it are like "oh, that's pretty cool." But then a lesser few of them look at me like I'm insane and just go "ohhhhhKAY then." One kind of rolled her eyes. Why is there this preconceived notion that...

    Starting from ground zero?

    I know there are articles about this all over the internet, but I wanted to ask on here. I'm going to start completely over with running barefoot. If it doesn't work I'm calling it quits and finding some shoes that I won't be injured in. How do I start and exactly how long do I go every day...
