Mark Edward Brown runs barefoot in Korean Monsoon

I am currently back in the USA on vacation with my family however I recently embarked on an unlikely event that I am dedicating to the barefooted running phenom known as Tellman Knudson, he’s also a millionaire marketer whom I follow closely.  I also want to mention one of my mentors Mark Joyner who is responsible for my introduction to Tellman (he’s also in the photo with Tellman).

Tellman is in the center with the white tank top and Mark has the red t-shirt on.

Many people that know me already know that I am an avid runner, I have been doing it since I was a kid and while I probably started as a barefooted babe until recently I had no desire to run without socks or shoes.

Here is what happened; I am stationed in Korea as I type this, I am there because of my Army career.  It’s the monsoon season right now and it had been raining like crazy all morning so I had not run yet.  Later in the day when the rain stopped I knew it was time to get a run in.  I was having a great run and some of the road I was running on was under water due to the amount of rain earlier in the day.  There was no way I was going to run through ankle to knee high water so I took off my socks and shoes and began to walk through the water.

As soon as I arrived at the end of the underwater portion of the road it began to rain again so I figured “what the heck” Tellman does this all the time and Mark did it as well so I’ll give it a try.

I ran barefooted for about a quarter of a mile and then I put my socks and shoes back on.  I thought to myself  “if only Tellman and Mark could see me now” :-)   It stopped downpouring just as I was ending my run and I was stoked because I gained some insight into how mentally tough you have to be to run barefooted.

    Great story Mark !
    That is something what we are doing regularly in dojo during the summer months :) plus it is very interesting to watch pedestrians facial expressions.
