I’m declaring Chapter 11 bankruptcy on the barefoot mile.
As it’s been over a year since my last post, it must be pretty clear that I have abandoned my goal. What was killing me though, was that I still thought I’d get back to it at some point. Once the weather got nicer! After training for the Pittsburgh Marathon Relay!
Well, it didn’t happen. And it’s been hanging over my head ever since.
Today, I ran my first training run for the 2011 Pittsburgh Marathon Relay (in my Vibram Five Fingers, of course). I thought it would be a good opportunity to let myself off the hook for running a barefoot mile under 5:00. This doesn’t mean that I won’t make another attempt in the future. I’ve just made a conscious decision to defer this particular goal until later. I’m reorganizing and reprioritizing my goals.
So, what’s next? I have a few non-athletic things in the works and you can read more about it on my main blog, andrewcox.org. Thanks for reading!
