CFHQ Rest Day
or
Make Up Day
or
CFSS WOD

Thanks to all y'all who brought your families out to play!

We have always maintained that you can run in minimal shoes and although we never exceed 5k, you could ostensible run a marathon in them with proper training and form.  Well, a man did just that. People have completed marathons in Vibram Five Fingers before, but very few have won in them.  He won the Palos Verde Marathon in 2:37.14, he's pictured Here

  11. Thanks guys! Couldn't have done it with all your support. I like how you put it Lori - about us underestimating our potential. I'm lucky that I'm surrounded by over-achievers at my gym :)
