Impossible possibility thinking

We begin with a question and when I say begin I mean it's coming next.

Is it possible for me to run a marathon, barefoot, in under 4 hours? Well, of course anything's possible you might say. If you believe you can achieve, I'm sure I've heard that somewhere you'd tweet merrily, not to know I don't tweet read.

Background seems to be a good place to start and mine is quick and minimal. I used to run of course, that's how all these things start. I used to run well, and that's even worse - it means I still believe I can, somewhere deep in my sole. (Yes I know, funny aren't I!) I've been looking into barefoot running too, like what children and hippys and tramps do, more than that I've been doing some.
Not recently obviously, 'cause it's been cold and that'd defeat the hilarious stupidness of the challenge I'm setting myself. There is of course an ulterior motive, my wedding in the summer for which I'd like to look all trim and nice and that. Oh and attractive, I forgot to say attractive.

So, background done it's expansion on the premise I suppose. Liverpool, which is quite near where I live, is meant to be getting a marathon in October, which is 9 months from now time. Unless, of course, the austerity measures apply to people running in groups, in which case we may be forecasting a 70% cut and just running through someones house a few times.
Furthermore I've been completely taken in by the deception that is barefoot running, even running 7 miles on pavement and sand, barefoot, with no ill a/effects (delete as appropriate).

Well, there you have it. A slightly bellyfied 24er wants to run a marathon with no shoes on. And if you thought that was good wait till my next update, if there even is one!
