Bare feet gain momentum

Last Tuesday night, 3/26, I attended another barefoot/minimalist running clinic put on by REI.  Determined to stay true to form, I again attended sans shoes.  This time I actually didn't know where the classroom was so I approached one of the staff to get a point in the right direction.  Before I could get the words out, I was already receiving directions.  Guess my bare feet gave me away.  Ha!  The woman who helped me seemed a little surprised to see me bare foot but didn't seem to have issue with that at all.

The presentation was another bulls-eye.  Very knowledgeable and accurate across the board.

Afterward, there was no reason for me to dilly dally so I made a speedy exit.  Got a few looks as I was leaving the store...and a few more still as I made my way to my ride.

Though I wasn't received with open arms, I didn't get my wrist slapped either.  That's a checkmark in the "W" column in my book!
