Long Beach Marathon

Summary

Long Beach, California

2013 October 13 Sunday

Set up the BarefootRunning.com canopy at the Long Beach International Marathon so I could yell at (cheer on) and shoot (with a camera) barefooters, other interesting runners and walkers and friends.

The canopy and I ended up at mile-25 (11.9 for the half marathon) next to Parker, who was monitoring the timing mat at mile 25.

I offerred many runners water, and bananas, while they lasted. One of the shod runners asked if I had any advil? Now why would a barefoot runner want to take pain-killers. If we wanted to run numbly, we would just put shoes on!
