so, big 'skins fan, huh? (i grew up in Bethesda)

Nice job there. Sounds like you were really paying attention to your body and, though your progress was a lot faster than some people, you really did it systematically.

I'd be interested to hear a bit more about your switch to BF and your trials and tribulations along the way. You already had a marathon under your belt, so you must have had something -- the fitness, the will, whatever. Where'd the sudden change come from? As an accomplished runner with shoes, how does it feel different?

Beautiful description of the race. I want to go down there and do it!

Congrats on the barefoot marathon!!! Great story.

You and I started barefooting at almost the same time (Jan 2 for me). Just finished my first barefoot half marathon yesterday. Shooting for a marathon early next year. Your story is inspiring that a barefoot marathon can be done in about a year's time.
