I saw Alberto at my first barefoot marathon the OC marathon back in May. It is so encouraging to have...

    "good luck with the training, hopefully you can get some better training in than I did (of course at this point in the game your training should be well underway I assume)." Thanks!

    OC Marathon

    I was running with the 4:20 pace group and just fell off pace at mile 18. Then the 4:25 group passed me and I tried to stay with them, until I fell of at mile 23-24. The groups were running a few minutes fast, thank goodness. I now think that under 4 is totally doable... We shall see.
