Lake Minnetonka 1/2 Marathon 2012

A successful 2nd barefoot 1/2 marathon for the year! Finish time 2:04:52. 1487 out of 2450. Shaved 22 minutes off my time from the race in April, 99% attributed to my pace "group" Laura Jester, my support team Paul Jester, and my barefoot partner in crime Steve Jester. Without them my only other 1% chance of finishing this race faster was the 100% chance of rain we were supposed to get by 10am (race started at 8am) that turned into 100% no rain for the rest of the day after 6:30am.

 
Oh, and did I mention that there was about a mile of gravel trail we ran on starting somewhere near mile 11.5?  I lost 2 minutes to this section.  Laura and Steve managed to keep their pace and finished 2 minutes ahead of me.  Paul was kind enough to stay with me and make sure I didn't need to be carried back to pavement.  It wouldn't have been so bad if I didn't already have blisters on my toes from incorrect running form.  


Overall it was a really great day.  I had lots of fun running with my siblings, and I'm pretty sure Steve and I were the only ones running completely barefoot.  We even had an unofficial race spectator specialist tell us we were part Kenyan.  My goal for the next race (Summerfest Rock 'n Sole on June 23) is to run it barefoot under 2 hours, and hopefully without the blisters.

    My adventure into the world of natural therapy, which involves herbal medicine is a mission. This is a mission to set our people free from ignorance, to open the eyes of the blind in order to see the hands of oppression, injustice and exploitation and to fight against them. National medicine is not just about the physical well being of the person's body, mind and soul. It is a call to resist the  systematic exploitation of the poor by the rich to care for the cosmos and protect it against pollution and destruction. What are you still waiting for? What are you still keeping that illness for? When natural herbs medicine is here to set you free. Why do you choose to let ignorance and doubt put your back on the ground. For wisdom is profitable to direct. Contact Dr Elinfoh today for your herbal medicine to cure and heal any type of diseases or sickness you might have been suffering from. His medicine is highly recommended for any sickness, diseases, infection, STD and many more. I was recently cured by Dr Elinfoh medication from Genital herpes that i have being suffering from for the past 4 yearsHis medication has been recommended to be the one of the best medicines irrespective of the sickness, diseases or infection. CONTACT INFO OF DR ELINFOH VIA  Email:  drelinfohherbalhome@gmail.com
