Posted in Adventure Running, Barefoot, Barefoot Running, Five Fingers, Foot Care, Minimal Shoes, Running, Shoe Repair, Uncategorized on November 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Many of you who have followed my posts have read some of my posts whining and complaining about my right foot. Well for the last two weeks I have not been able to run barefoot at all, let alone walk barefoot.
Extremely frustrating. Many of the comments that have been forward to me about this problem [...]

900 Miles on Vibram Five Finger KSO’s

Posted in Adventure Running, Barefoot, Barefoot Running, Endurance, Five Fingers, Minimal Shoes, Running, Shoe Repair on October 12, 2009 | 4 Comments »

Running = 850,
Cycling = 90,
Walking = 40

As a former heel striker, and a clydesdale athlete, I am used to destroying shoes to the point that they must be discarded into a bin of well loved shoes after only a few hundred miles. Every once in a while I find this bin and pull out [...]

When you run barefoot you can expect to feel some aches and pains in your feet and ankles when doing some hard training — especially when you wake up in the morning. At least that is my experience. What I did not expect was blood in my urine when I returned from a fast 8 [...]

Familial Eating Patterns

Posted in Adventure Running, Barefoot, Barefoot Running, Eating, Endurance, Fatherhood, Five Fingers, Minimal Shoes, Nutrition, Running, Training on July 3, 2009 | 1 Comment »

My Dad had a heart attack directly related to diet and stress in 1992, and again this year he needed a number of stents put in to open some severe blockages. 200907021528.jpg I made some changes in my life, like taking the stairs instead of the elevator, and doing a few repeats up the hill on my bike every day, but I kept the Mountain Dew habit, and the stressful job. … We were under direct orders to eat everything on our plate, and if for any reason we left food on the plate we were served up a good dose of guilt “don’t you know people are starving in Africa.”

Sapper Joe 50K Race Report

Posted in Adventure Running, Barefoot, Barefoot Running, Eating, Endurance, Five Fingers, Minimal Shoes, Nutrition, Running on June 29, 2009 | 2 Comments »

… I thought I was doing good on water, but on the leg before the last aid station I ran out of water and I was suffering, my mouth was dry, and I could feel the heat effects on my energy.

Do you crave carbonation while running?

Posted in Adventure Running, Barefoot, Barefoot Running, Eating, Endurance, Five Fingers, Minimal Shoes, Running, Training on June 11, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Half way into the Sapper Joe 50K I was craving carbonation. I was saving a can of Guru for after the race and I slammed it during the race. The craving did not come back even after the race. So I thought I would put up this poll to see if any of you out [...]

Here is a couple of pictures from running up and down Angels Landing in Zion’s National Park. I brought my Five’s as I thought the surface might be too rough. Did not wear them.

What good is a run without pushups at the top.

The run on the way back. Steep and fast. The [...]

Another 50+ on Five Finger KSO’s

Posted in Adventure Running, Barefoot, Barefoot Running, Endurance, Five Fingers, Minimal Shoes, Review, Running, Shoe Repair on May 2, 2009 | 6 Comments »

I have put another 50 miles running, 20 miles cycling, 16 hours weeding, and 8 hours framing a basement on my Five Fingers. I have been barefoot running a bit lately or I would have put more miles on them — so I think in total I have around 400+ conservative miles on them now.

Spring in full bloom – New Trail

Posted in Adventure Running, Barefoot, Barefoot Running, Endurance, Five Fingers, Minimal Shoes, Running, Training on April 29, 2009 | 4 Comments »

There is a new trail next to Barrel Roll, in Santa Clara, that I discovered last week.  I realized that this trail did not exist a few weeks ago. I was completely stoked to make this discovery, thinking to myself, that this trail rivals the best in Southern Utah. I found the trail while on [...]
