Was really going for speed this time.

Improved my time from last year by whole 6 minutes and set my new HM PR.

Wow, absolutely wonderful pics!! :)
What type of paint do you use by the way?

Have been using mostly just kids face paint crayons in the past but switching to regular acrylic paint lately (easier to paint with, easier to remove later).
 
I think you have too much fun! :barefoot:
 
I think so too. Running barefoot is the culprit :( . The fun could be greatly reduced if I were running in shoes.
I so know that to be true. We need a thread that asks only die-hard barefoot runners if they'd rather run shod if they could no longer go barefoot, or give up running altogether. I start it.
