Greetings from Helsinki, Finland
I have been reading this forum for a while and finally decided to join in.
After 8 months of transition and training I just finished the Helsinki City Marathon last weekend running barefoot in 4h and 34min (and 50sec) so think I can now officially call myself a barefoot runner.
Here is a foto of me creating some OMG reactions among the crowd in the heart of Helsinki (at about 26kilometers point): http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/313321_269021313123977_195169937175782_1156278_7047866_n.jpg
I also blog about my experiences but it is in Finnish language. If you are interested in my Helsinki City Marathon run, you can view my 14min wobbling video compilation from start, along the route & finish at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium. I added some captions in English into the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epe2_5hESnE
