A Passion for Running

Welcome to the home of Mark aka The Running Blogfather – a 40 year-old dad, husband and marathon runner who's beaten injury and is on the comeback trail!

today I officially became a barefoot runner

passion for running category: barefoot running,running on Wednesday, August 3 2005

Why today of all days you ask? Good question you smart running blogger/blogging runner you!

I’m not exactly sure about the answer but I think it was the 40 minute barrier I stomped today with a blogfather world record of 52 continous barefoot running minutes! 30 minutes last week felt great but today’s run really feels like an accomplishment especially considering the awesome shape my feet are in. Well, awesome with one exception. The second smallest toe on my right foot (now duly named “Lazy”) has another blister on it. Nothing I can’t handle but…damn you Lazy! Damn you to hell!

Edit: This does not mean I will only run barefoot…at least not for now anyway. ;)

Very nice, Mark. You realize you need to grow a beard now. Its part of the uniform.

PS
