Back from the honeymoon

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 [...]

Race Report: 2010 Stratton Faxon Fairfield Half-Marathon

This past Sunday I ran my second half-marathon of the year and potentially my last race until A) my wedding later this month and B) the Amica Marathon in Newport in October! The race was the Stratton Faxon Fairfield Half-Marathon in Fairfield, CT and it was the second time I’d run the race. Last year [...]

More minimalist shoes on the horizon: Inov-8 Evoskin, GoLite and more…

I meant to get this post out a lot earlier, but right now I’m getting pulled in all directions and unfortunately haven’t had a great deal of time to tend to the blog. Anyways, there’s some big news lately in the minimalist shoe market, with the biggest announcement being the Inov-8 Evoskin (you know, the [...]

One week until the Fairfield Half-Marathon

Not only has the wedding planning and new house improvements distracted me from blogging, but it also caused me to forget (until very recently that is) that my second half-marathon for the year is next weekend! On June 27th I’ll be running the Stratton Faxon Fairfield Half-Marathon for the second time (ran it last year [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Longest run ever planned for this weekend

With nothing major on the agenda for the weekend, I’ve decided it would be as good a time as ever to attempt a new personal record in terms of farthest distance run. Since last year, I’ve thought that running from my house to my parent’s house, which is between 14-16 miles depending the roads you [...]

Get ready for BarefootBrandon.com!

As I write more and more about my barefoot running experiences, I figured it was time to break the topic off into its own website…plus, I just thought of BarefootBrandon.com today and it sounded pretty catchy. I’ve already created my new Twitter account (twitter.com/BarefootBrandon) and an e-mail address and if my hosting service can get [...]

The Kueter Zone

After work today I paid my first visit to “The Kueter Zone,” which is the slightly-lame name my brother came up for the make-shift gym he put together. It does include a massive multi-purpose weight cage thing and some other stuff, so it’s pretty legit, so we’ll see if I become a regular member. It [...]
