    FullSoul Running Pad

    I won these FullSoul Running Pads back in August and received them in September. I wanted to wear them for a little while before posting a review. My initial impression is that these are very well made. As an engineer I was impressed by the process in using a single piece of leather to make...

    This mornings run.

    I am doing a virtual race this month. The spring marathon I was going to run got cancelled. All of their events that weekend total 48 miles so (for a fee) if you run 48 miles in November you get all 4 medals that they had leftover from the cancelled races. For the record, I don't mean this...

    Irony

    Funny ironic story. How many miles have I run barefoot in the last 3 + years, a few hundred at least. People always worry I'll step on glass or something. I have had people tell me that they would be concerned about hyperdermic needles, used condoms, etc. I told the used condom guy I would...

This...

    marathon training plan

    Has anyone used one of Jason's training plans from "The Barefoot Running Book"? I am on week 3 of the Hyena plan. This plan has a lot of speed work but relatively low miles per week. I'm just curious if anyone else is using or has used this plan.

    Surveying your route

    I learned an important lesson today about the necessity of driving a new route first. I used map my run to develop a new 9 mile loop for todays run. Turns out that miles 6 & 7 were chip seal. Oh joy. I ended up running on the double yellow line. There was no white line at the edge of...
