Ah Zap, if I didn't already
Ah Zap, if I didn't already have plans I would have been too happy to drive over to run it with you! I was the only BF runner this past weekend at the Reno RockNRiver (as far as I know) and hope to have company next year.
Have fun!

Just as an update... raced
Just as an update... raced this completely barefoot this morning and was so happy I had no issues with my knees or achillies. The only issues I had were with the crappy asphalt that I was running on. Even with having to strategically scan ahead for paint, smooth surfaces, grass or sidewalks, I managed to finish it with a decent enough pace (for me, anyway) which was around 10:30 min/mi. I probably could have pushed it more had it not been such crappy conditions. Feet are a bit tingly, but good post race this morning. Yay me!

Nope. I didn't know he was running this race. Would have been cool to see another barefooter out there, but I didn't see him. Hope he had a good race, though!Barefoot Terry said:

I left a message on your wall (I hadn't seen this thread until after the race). Sorry about that. I was right in the front row. Actually, if you look closely at the picture they had in the Sac Bee of the folks starting the race, you'll see one barefoot peaking out from the crowd of sneakers.... that's me

Not too bad. Just under 21
Not too bad. Just under 21 minutes. The best part though was having my Mom (3 time cancer survivor) meet me at the finish line. First time she's seen me run since high school. Great inspiration /sites/all/modules/smileys/packs/Roving/wink.png
Planning on doing Folsom's Run with Nature 5k & The Wild Way this weekend with my son and some friends.

Maybe I'll see some other BFR's out there.

That is so cool!! Must have been great to have your mom meet you at the finish line! And awesome time, man!!! No wonder you were out front. I would have been trampled.
I wanted to do the Wild Way run this weekend, but our weekend's are really booked lately especially with my son starting up BMX again.
