To be honest, I’ve been back from the honeymoon for over a week now and while things are going great on the married/house front , things on the running front have slowed a bit. Going into my wedding and honeymoon, my PT tendon had been a bit sore and I was hoping that over a [...]

Barefoot Brandon: What’s in a name?
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 [...]

Ultra Half-Marathon Man
Okay, so maybe there’s nothing quite “ultra” about running 13.6 miles, but pretending I was doing something way above and beyond what I had ever done before helped me get through the run on Saturday…even if it was only 0.5 miles farther than my previous distance In case you’re too lazy (or have something better [...]

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 [...]

Recent purchases and reads: Vita Coco, Honey Stinger, Why We Run and more…
Just felt like posting some of my recent purchases from Amazon, along with the most recent books I’ve read. Conveniently, through Amazon Associates, I can show you all of these great things in their snazzy carousel widget…with the possibility that I could make a buck or two! In case you were wondering, I feel no [...]

Recovery runs: Do you do them? Do they help?
Each of the past two weeks I’ve gone on a long run (both of which happened to be trail runs) and have noticed something odd about my recovery. The day after each of the runs I feel good, but due to concerns over my PT tendon soreness in my foot, I’ve decided that taking an [...]

Race Report: 2010 Bimbler’s Bash 10k trail race
Sunday morning my buddy (@aarondavidson) and I ran Bimbler’s Bash, a 10k (yeah right!) trail run in Guilford, CT…and what a race it was! When we first got there, we tried to get a feel for the course by talking with some other runners who had participated in previous years, but to be honest, nothing [...]

Longest trail run to date!
After a weekend that included a couple hikes, but no substantial running, plus some serious Easter-eats, it was time to get focused on training for Bimbler’s Bash. In case you weren’t aware, “the bash” is a 10k trail run in Guilford, CT, and will be the first trail race of my life. Up to this [...]

Energy shots and goo packs
After buying the Nathan Speed 2 Waistpack for carrying fluids on longer runs, I happened to be at the mall and decided to pick up some goo/energy pack things to start testing out. I bought a couple different flavors to perform a taste test and see which of them helps (or hurts) the most. I’ll [...]

Terra Plana, 5-Hour Energy and more
Just felt like sharing a few random things that I meant to mention from the past week or so: 5 Hour Energy – I was a strong dis-believer in these concentrated energy drinks for the longest time, but recently I gave one a shot (no pun intended) before a run and weights session last week. [...]
