Very happy to report an excellent race for an up-and-coming barefoot runner, Julian Romero. This guy ran the Los Angeles Marathon in 2:53 on a course that is the toughest in over 20 years. Some of the slowest times ever were recorded for the top runners which makes Julian achievement even more incredible.

Several of my friends in the Wild Mountain Runner Club said that they saw and ran with Julian. What impressed several of them was that he didn't look like a typical fast marathoner, i.e., super thin and narrow, yet he was MOVING.

Congratulations again and looking forward to hearing about your future successes.
