BRS-Hawaii Meet-Up

Ladies and Gentlemen, the BRS-Hawaii Chapter is active. Today we had our first meet-up run and I'm thrilled. It was small, only Ron the Unclad Lad and I were there, but it's a start.
Starting from the Mililani 24 Hour Fitness we ran for 33:54, going just over three miles at a moderate pace, allowing easy getting-to-know-you conversation. This wasn't about working out as much as it was about a meeting of similar-minded runners and running smiley. Ron had a victorious run, going further than he had since he got back in to running a few months ago. I admit, I ran in my Bikilas. Hey, its how I train. I race in them, so I run in them most of the time. I'm not a full-on barefooter like Ron is. But I think next time we meet I will do the run bare. Why not? Its a good time.
I hope more Hawaii BRSers can come next time. We are looking at a month from today as a tentative date for our next group run, September 4th.

BRS- Hawaii is Up and Running!

This just in, you're favorite Dirtbag is now one step closer to winning the internets. That's right, I am the Chapter President of the Barefoot Runners Society Hawaii Chapter. I didn't even have to show a birth certificate (little Hawaii birth certificate humor there. Course, I was born in Californi but whatever! At least I wasn't born in Panama or something. Whew!)!
This development not only makes the Hawaii Chapter of the BRS the most important chapter, but also the most awesome chapter. That's right, we are waaay more awesome than even the Minnesota Chapter. All they've got is a paleo, kit-wearing superhero. You can also check us out on Facebook using the link to the side of the blog.
So if you are a barefoot or minimalist runner in Hawaii like us, come on by the BRS forums, and come for a run or two.
