    My wife is running Boston in Vibrams...how's the surface?

    My wife got a charity bib from her company to run the Boston Marathon. She just did the Cowtown Ft Worth Marathon and the bricks and chip seal areas gave her some trouble...made her nervous for Boston. Has anyone run it barefoot or in vibrams that can weigh in and put her mind at ease? Much...

    Barefoot Marathon, Done!

    SanDiego was gorgeous, Marathons are hard and I wanna do another one!! I expected to see more barefooters or at least Vibram wearers, but I saw no other Barefoot and I think we have more min-runners in Texas! It took me 6hrs 21min in spite of being on track at the half with 2hrs 31min. My faster...

    Loch Ness, Sasquatch, Aliens and the Barefoot Kilt wearing runner!

    I have often, and not unfairly, been accused of being a bit oblivious...at times. I tend to do what I do because it's fun, makes me happy and causes no harm. I suppose I should not have been surprised when a running club friend asked me, in the middle of a run, "Do you ever feel like you're a...

    SanDiego Rock and Roll Marathon in one week...

    It's almost here, the miles are logged and I'm excited to participate and represent the Barefooters. I am curious if anyone has run the full... I was wondering what I can expect from the surfaces of the course, elevation and any challenges I can expect. Any insight would be great! Thanks...

    Comming full circle!

    Well...it's been a year! May of 2011, TJ and SayPay got me to take off the Vibrams and listen to my feet after only a month of running and I'd say that pretty well changed my life, but you be the judge... March 23rd, 2011, at 38yrs old, I bought my first pair of Vibrams as an overweight 260lb...

    Left ankle driving me nuts! Help!

    I've been having some pain/soreness in my left ankle...but it moves. I run barefoot, always. I took last week off after a bad run, where I just couldn't get in a groove. My ankle felt a lot better by the 5k race on Saturday. Sunday, it was a little stiff, but loosened up and felt fine for my...

    Since we don't have our own magazine, which would you pick?

    Runner's World or Running Times? A Co-Worker's kids are doing a fund raiser. Thinking about getting a running mag. Thoughts?? -Jonny

    My 3rd race with fellow barefooters! Woohoo! (And a mini vent session)

    The "Get Healthy Texas 5K" on Saturday was a blast! It was my co-worker Hagan's first race, so I was instructed by my wife to be her wing man. My wife was running with her BFF, Abby. I did too good a job as wing man cause Hagan ended up beating my first 5k time by almost 2min with a 32:25...

    Getting Goofy! By Vanessa Runs Walt Disney World Half Marathon My parents never had a TV in the house as I was growing up, so when other kids talked about Disney movies, I was the weird-dumb kid. Then one day I saw the Little Mermaid at a friend’s house. Her parents were...

    "Dear Santa, I was harrassed by an Elf!! It just doesn't seem right!"

    "Dear Santa, It pains me to do this, but I'm affraid, one of your Elves has crossed the line into the "naughty zone"! I didn't get her name, but I'm sure you know who she is. I don't know why she chose to pick on me, but something about my bare feet while running the "Dallas Jingle...

    New record tonight! Ran 4 miles in mid 30deg weather!

    I did the RunOn Wed night social run to check out all the Christmas lights in the area. Several of my club friends ran from a mile away to the store and then we went with the RunOn group for a 3.3miler. At the start, my soles felt almost like I was wearning a shoft rubber shoe cause I couldn't...

    Maffetone Method...what's your experience with it?

    I've done 2 halfs now and I have about 4mo before my next one in March and then I'm signed up for the Full in June. I want to push below the 2hr mark in the half and survive the full.(Though anything under 5hrs in the full would be amazing!) I've enlisted the help of Jimmy for a training...

    Trisa’s First Half: The wet, the cold and the…Barefoot Todd!! What are YOU doing here?!!

    If you’ve ever entered a race, only to see cold and rain in the forecast, then this will hit home for you. Being in Texas, you NEVER fixate on the weather man’s predictions. Well…they got this one right…45deg and an 80% chance of rain. I don’t know who runs the...
