Jeff-  good job.  One word.  Vibrams!  (good for goose shit)

I am considering them - dont know where to buy them near me though.  My local running store doesnt carry them.  Plus, right now I kind of like the completely shoe-free feeling.  I think it really helped me enjoy my run a bit more than I have in a while.

Plus, the goose shit was kind of like a little obstacle course
