Hot and humid…perfect if I was training for Badwater!

Just felt like stating the obvious, but it’s been VERY hot and humid these past few days in southeastern Connecticut. I went for a 5+ mile trail run on Monday at 9 AM and it already felt like I was running in the jungle. I’m hoping the temperature will drop a little bit, as I [...]

Barefoot runner goes over 100 miles in 24 hours!

As I warned earlier, the posting on Barefoot Brandon has slowed down a bit these days, as the focus has been on moving to a new house…not to mention that I’m getting married in just about six weeks!!! That doesn’t mean that my running has slowed down though. This week already I’ve logged a 4.5 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Video review of the Inov-8 F-Lite 230 trail running shoe

Because of my upcoming trail race, I’ve been logging a lot more trail running miles than ever before these past few weeks. However, I haven’t yet built up the confidence to hit the trails in Vibram Five Fingers or barefoot (!!!) like Jason from Barefoot Chronicles, so all of the runs have been in Inov-8 [...]

Race report: 2010 Mystic River Moon Run

Yesterday my fiancee, my brother, two of my sisters and I took part in the previously mentioned Mystic River Moon 3 mile run and it was a great time. When I first found out about this race, the original plan was for it to be my first barefoot race ever, but my PT tendon injury [...]

Running Streak out, Best Week in

On the sidebar of the site I used to list my best running streak, keeping track of the number of consecutive days run, along with the accumulated mileage during that span. After a few good runs the past two days though, I realized that maybe this isn’t the best way to go about it. I [...]

Trail vs road running

The more I read about ultra-marathons, the ones that trek through the mountains and fields (more Western States than Badwater,) the more I’m starting to get into trail running. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy running on the road and my ultimate goal for the year is to run a marathon in October, but recently [...]

Back from the Bahamas

This past weekend my fiancee and I took a pre-Valentine’s Day cruise to the Bahamas, so I’ve been away from the site for a bit. The trip was great by the way (thanks for asking!) even though I was forced to take a break from my running routine the entire time. However, I did get [...]
