TJ, it's one of those things that make people forget you're barefoot. 8) I'm seriously considering one but the problem is when it's kilt season around here it's never dark enough to require one.
Yes, we barefoot runners need all the distraction we can get. Somehow though, I think the combination of bare feet and a brightly yellow, neon kilt yells, "HEY! Look at me! Look at ME!"
Do you remember that photo of that Asian guy running the NYC Marathon barefoot carrying that ginormous flag that had a picture of him carrying that ginormous flag that had a picture of him carrying that ginormous flag that...? At the top, it read something about being a BAREFOOT RUNNER...like people needed to see the flag with those words and an image of him running barefoot to tell that he was a BAREFOOT RUNNER! If we had an AW award, he would definitely come in second place, behind Jason. ;-)
Like I said, TJ, the ultimate AW kilt. As far as kilt season goes, to wear it traditionally and still feel like a man it helps if it's not too cold if you know what I mean. I haven't seen that picture, I'd have remembered it.
If anyone is able to remember anything about that thread I'm talking about from "that other forum," please find the photo and post it here. It's well worth it. ;-)
Length is fine. The only issue I have with it is the velcro on the inside flap. I could see it giving those with sensitive skin a rash.
The comments during today's race blew me away. Wasn't expecting that much attention. Not sure if I was asked more about the bare feet or the kilt but all of it was pretty positive. I even saw a couple wearing matching kilts. I had to run up behind them and snap a picture real fast.
That's Dane Rauschenberg at 0:46. He wrote 'See Dane Run' journaling his 52 marathons during one year after running for only a couple of years. He was 'the other guy in a skirt' at the skirt run I participated in a couple of weeks ago, a bit of a mascot for RunningSkirts and an all-round good guy.
