As I’ve mentioned before, recently I’ve been doing some cross training by adding bike riding to my workout routine to give my foot extra time to heal between runs. Anyways, I’ve started building up my stamina on the bike rides and last night I planned to go for my longest ride yet, around 13-14 miles. [...]

Vibram Five Fingers Bikila hit the market!
Or at least they hit one store. According to Birthday Shoes, a small shipment of the VFF Bikilas was sent to City Sports in Boston yesterday…but they’re probably sold out by now! When I first signed up for my half-marathon in May, I was hoping that the Bikilas would be out and that I would [...]

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!

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 [...]

Hard for a runner to recover from a foot injury
As those who follow me on Twitter or read the blog regularly already know, I’m currently nursing a strained PT tendon. However, I don’t mention this to complain about it as much as to say that as a runner, trying to a recover from a foot injury is HARD! With race season in full swing [...]

Posterior tibial (PT) tendon dysfunction
Last year, after a 5.5 mile road race in the Vibram Five Fingers KSO’s, I went for a quick two mile jog and the next morning I noticed some pretty bad pain in the inside of my right foot near the heal. There was also some noticeable swelling and bruising in the area. I thought [...]

Please forgive me…
…but I bought a pair of running shoes. There was a combination of forces at play that caused me to get them, but I ended up buying a pair of Inov-8 F-Lite 230‘s. Here are a few of my reasons (excuses?) for buying them: 1. Other than my Vibram Five Finger KSO’s, I’ve never really [...]

Videos added to site
Although they’re not the most exciting videos you’ll ever see, I just wanted to share a couple of quick clips my buddy and I recorded this past weekend of yours truly, running in Vibram Five Fingers, Nike’s and barefoot. I’m working on putting together a slow motion collage of the videos so I can look [...]
