barefoot
I am transitioning to barefoot running, completing my fourth run in Vibram KSOs. I ran a bit of the BPA Trail in Federal Way. The trail sections were a bit wet, but it felt good to blast through the puddles.
I did the Seattle Marathon at the end of November with some plantar fasciatiis issues, shod. My time was not great, but it was one of the most fun runs I have ever participated in. I started slow, and my split times were only about 2 minutes off from each other. The weather could not have been more perfect. High 40s, overcast, no rain. Running it in 2006, I cramped big time about mile 18 or so when the hills start rolling up to the Arboretum. I fought the cramps off this time, struggling a bit, but I felt pretty strong at the end.
Though my feet are a bit tender from running barefoot, and my calves are achey, the plantar issues are gone. I have been looking at 2010 runs. My goals are to run a Half Marathon in late spring.
