Laying rubber.

Ok, I have jumped on the band wagon. I'm hooked. I ran the Hospital Hill half-marathon over the weekend in my huaraches. Let me be honest too, I did not train like I should have either. Just ask my wife. In fact, looking back, I don't recall doing a run longer than 6 miles at a time. When I did run it was 2 to 3 miles at a time. So just going into the run I was hoping that I would at least finish. The thing was I had run mostly in my huaraches and was concerned that going back to regular running shoes would screw with my form.
Not only did I not hurt as much as I did the previous year after the run but I managed to shave off 14 minutes off my time. A new PR. So laugh if you want at my home made sandals, I'm happy with them.
