On a fateful day in the year 2000 in January a group of barefoot runners met on the beach to be interviewed and photographed by a reporter for the Los Angeles Times, Orange County edition. The story headlined as “Disciple of Sole“.
This was also the day I met my good friend Barefoot Todd. Actually the day he became “Barefoot Todd”. Today, 19 years and 8 months later, on the very same beach, in the very same location, we reunited for a pleasant swim and with Todd’s friend, June.
Though we didn’t have a reporter or photographer, we did have mobile phones, which nowadays are so much more than just phones, so we took photos.
