Leif Rustvold, one of the few other barefoot ultrarunners here in the US, is running in the Pacific Rim One Day Run to benefit the Oregon Food Bank. The best part- he's doing it barefoot! Leif ran the Hundred in the Hood 100 miler last September in Vibrams... the same day I ran the Hallucination 100 in Vibrams. He ran a marathon the next weekend while I was still hobbling up stairs. Check out his Distance Minimally blog for more info.
I am so totally impressed and depressed at the same time. Here I am proud of myself for running several miles (not at once) barefoot this week and here are these amazing people doing a 100.
ReplyDeleteI might get there but whether I do or not, I will still be totally impressed.
