Saturday morning I hit the streets for my long run of the week, hoping to go eight miles or so. Wearing my Vibram Five Fingers Sprints (which have now surpassed my KSO’s as my favorite road running “shoes”) though, I got into an awesome groove and if necessary, could have definitely finished a half-marathon distance!

Trail running with Sonya and Mason
As I prepare for the first trail race of my running career (Bimbler’s Bash 10k,) Sonya, Mason and I have been hitting the local trails as of late. There are really two trail areas within five minutes of my house where we run. The first is a three mile loop called Pequot Woods. This trail [...]

Naughty dog! Plus, my first trail running mishap
Since apparently it’s almost the summer already (three 60+ degree days in a row?) Mason and I went out for our second trail run of the week. However, this one was a little more eventful than Tuesday’s run. To start, as soon as I let him off the leash to start the run, he books [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

All (footwear) terrain running
The weather this past weekend was pretty nice (around 30F and sunny) so I was able to get in a fair amount of running. On Saturday I took my dog Mason out for his first jog (on a leash that is) of the year and we did around three miles before calling it quits. Yesterday, [...]

First real barefoot run of 2010
Today, with the temperature over 40 degrees and the sun making an appearance, I decided it was finally time to hit the pavement for my first 100% barefoot run of the year. I ended up going around 1.75 miles and my feet are definitely feeling a bit warm and somewhat tender at the moment. As [...]

Not sure how long it'll last, but I thi…
Not sure how long it’ll last, but I think I’ve found a loop hole in the 1-800-PetMeds check out system. For my last purchase, I applied a coupon code that discounted the order about %5 or %10 or something. This time when I went to re-order, they remembered my last purchase, along with the price, [...]

Dogs and cats partly causing Global Warming?
As a dog owner and a believer in Global Warming/Climate Change, I’m not quite sure what to make out of this report that dogs (and cats…and any other pet) are partly responsible for our carbon “pawprint.” Apparently, one dog causes more carbon emissions than an SUV that drives 10,000 miles in a year because of [...]

Snowstorm of 2009
This past Saturday we got hit with the biggest snowstorm of my life that I can remember. We got around a foot and a half of snow, so yesterday after the snow stopped falling, there was some major shoveling and car-scraping to do (luckily my brother has a truck with a plow, so we were [...]
