So you want to sponsor a barefoot runner or barefoot running event
Silly Remarks from Observers, and/or from Barefoot Runners
As barefoot runners we should be aware of the many social pressures put on us to conform. In being aware of the pressures put on ourselves, we should also learn to think about the pressures we put on others.
Think and be tolerant. Remember how it makes you feel, when another person expressing disparaging remarks or looks about the way you look or behave.
If there is one thing we should not tolerate, it is intolerance!

You must LOVE pain! 01
If I loved pain, I would be wearing SHOES!
It wasn’t running barefoot that left my feet raw and bleeding during my first marathon. It was friction and heat inside my shoes! I have since completed 79 marathons barefoot, and a total of more than 400 races barefoot, with only a small fraction of the pain and injury incurred by my shoes during that single first marathon (and only one I’ve ran in shoes).
