Half Marathon... The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

Today was half marathon day.

The Good...
I finished a half marathon in my Vibram FiveFingers KSO!!  (checks off bucket list).  Also, I set my record 5k (3.1mile) record of under 23 minutes.
The Bad...
Didn't set my personal record for beginning at the 8mile marker, blisters set in and I had to stop every once in a while.  Was on pace for 1:40ish.. ended up being 1:59 ;(

The Ugly...


Next:  To get the proper Vibrams designed specially for running.  These would help to whisk away the sweat and help minimize/prevent blisters.  Couple of people have said they finished full marathons in them.  I"M SOLD!
