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 [...]

Back from the honeymoon
July 6th, 2010
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 [...]

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 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 [...]

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 [...]

Two days until the Seaside Shuffle!
A couple months ago my sister and I registered for the Seaside Shuffle 5-miler in Old Saybrook, CT, as a warm-up for the Shape Up RI half-marathon on May 2nd. Well, it seems the time has come to begin preparing for the race, with less than 48 hours between now and the start time! My [...]

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 Leprechaun 5-Miler
Before I get into the race report, I just wanted to thank Mother Nature for holding off the bad weather until today and providing a spectacular day for a race yesterday (not to mention the entire week!) Anyways, yesterday I ran the Leprechaun 5-Miler road race at the surf club in Madison, CT, to raise money [...]
