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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Long trail runs and push-ups
This past Sunday I went out for a trail run at Bluff Point with the intention of setting a new PR for distance on the trails…and it wasn’t a disappointment! Although I only beat my previous record by less than a mile (7.3 miles in Bimbler’s Bash) it was a very fulfilling run. I didn’t [...]

Time for some serious trail running!
With my brother’s bachelor party in the rear-view mirror (great time…even though I probably went a little overkill on the partying ) it’s time to get back into training mode. I’m in between the two half-marathons scheduled for this year and these next couple weeks will most likely feature a lot less road running then [...]

Half-marathon hangover
I’ve officially deemed this week a half-marathon hangover due to general soreness from the race and some scheduling conflicts with my training. Maybe I deserve a slow week after the effort I put into the Providence half-marathon, but the hope was that I’d get right back out there and pick up where I left off…but [...]

Longest run of the year
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! [...]

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! 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 [...]
