Confessions Of A Barefoot Runner

Hi. My name is Quirl. Im a barefoot runner. Ive been clean for 8 months Yeah, my name is Quirl but you can call me Jacob, most people do. I should probably clarify though that Im not an exclusive barefoot runner. Dont get the wrong idea, I dont walk around without shoes at school, I dont go to work in sock feet, I even wear shoes around my own house sometimes. I just want to be up front with yall, Im not that guy. I dont picket gas stations that have no shirt, no shoes, no service posted on the door. I sneak in a little flip flop action on occasion and if Im really honest with you I would tell you that I have 6 times more shoes in my closet than the average guy. Maybe more than some girls even -cringe- . okay, okay, I dont even wear my Fivefingers to the grocery store at midnight when I run out of milk. (I drink whole milk) I definitely dont wear them to the grocery store at midday. Thats because my girlfriend has convinced me that they are ugly. She would know. I cant say every outfit I put on is the epitome of contemporary fashion but lets just say my blue vibrams dont really match much. Except my urban camouflage pants, Im kidding, about owning camo pants not about whether they match or not. I dont even wear them to run all that often because, well, it hurts to run on the road. So for a long tempo run on Saturday instead of velcroing my VFFs I lace up my SHOES (ASICS speedstars).
I still run barefoot. As much as I love shoes, especially running shoes, I would prefer to run without them. I could rattle off more information about brands, models, weights, impact reducing technologies, and stabilizing properties of running shoes than you could probably stomach without losing your lunch. Despite that or maybe because of that when I kick off my shoes and take off running I feel like my feet have been unhinged. Its so clean. Every step I take is like a personal clinic in bio mechanical goodness. I feel faster. Like I might even catch mister Bolt from behind while he is warrior posing towards the sky. I feel lighter. Like I might be flying over the grass with the ease that Dibaba floats on the track. Its an addicting feeling and yeah, Im addicted.
