At about the same time I started running barefoot and in Vibram Five Fingers and started blogging about it last year, it became apparent that there was quite a disagreement raging on the interwebs. This disagreement was between those in favor of minimalist running and those who recommended the traditional running shoe approach (and many [...]

Birthday Shoes gets first look at Vibram Five Fingers Speed
I wanted apologize for the lack of activity on the blog these days, but due to changes at work, wedding planning and moving into a new house, it will be a little quieter than usual here at Barefoot Brandon. In terms of my training, most of this week will be a balance of shorter distance [...]

Song to run to
In case you were interested, I just added a new Grooveshark widget to the side bar (it’s getting a bit crowded!) called Song To Run To. Back in the day, I used to run a website called The New Hotness, which featured the latest (mostly rock) songs that piqued my interest. Ever since then, I’ve [...]

Long trail runs and push-ups
This past Sunday I went out for a trail run at Bluff Point with the intention of setting a new PR for distance on the trails…and it wasn’t a disappointment! Although I only beat my previous record by less than a mile (7.3 miles in Bimbler’s Bash) it was a very fulfilling run. I didn’t [...]

Just changed the slideshow on my Photos page, so now it uses an embedded control that links right to my Picasa photo album, instead of a link to that super-cheesy JavaScript slide show I had before. Hope everyone likes it!

It’s not arch support, but actually a material called EVA, which is lighter than the [...]

After the Tarzan Brown Run, I sent in a few pictures of me in my Vibram Five Fingers KSO’s to BirthdayShoes.com and what do you know…they put up a post about me on their website! Pretty exciting stuff.

Wired for War
While some people look to Oprah for their book recommendations, apparently I prefer Comedy Central’s nightly news anchor Jon Stewart to give me mine. I’m now reading Wired for War by P.W. Singer, after just finishing Christopher McDougall’s Born to Run…both of which were featured on Stewart’s show at some point. Wired for War is [...]

Born to Run
Currently reading the book Born to Run by Christopher McDougall, about a tribe of super-runners in Mexico. Pretty interesting stuff so far, need to look into this iskiate stuff they drink…supposedly it’s like… a smoothie made from salmon, spinach, and human growth hormone….superpacked with omega-3s, omega-6s, protein, calcium, iron, zinc, fiber and antioxidants.

Next purchase: Vibram FiveFingers
In case you only read my blog and do not have the joy of following me on Twitter (bmarshallpf) or Facebook, I figure I should share my next purchase with you before I go out and make it this weekend. After running my first half-marathon, I’m thinking it’s time to switch it up a little [...]
