    Prima Facie Luna Mono Thoughts

    Yesterday I received my new Luna Sandals in the mail: the Mono model with ATS laces and MGT footbed. Ted has posted on his Google Group that this soling material was chosen because of how it molds to the foot over time. I am not sure if it will compress and become more flexible, or what other...

    Now Resolution!

    After over a month with only two runs I made a Now Resolution to run a minimum of twenty minutes per day this month. I couldn't wait until the New Year, and those rarely work for more than two weeks. Are you up for a New Resolution? If so, what is your's? P.S. Yesterday I ran for 50...

    VFF KSO's in Alex Cross movie

    My wife and I were watching last night's Colbert Report, and during the Tyler Perry interview at the end they showed a clip from his upcoming movie Alex Cross. In that clip, at minute 17:52 of the program, we see Matthew Fox's character wearing black on black KSO's. Alas, while this appears to...

    Living Barefoot website

    So yesterday I listened to the newest Ultrarunnerpodcast and decided this morning that I would enjoy listening to barefoot/minimalist related podcast. With that I went to listen to the latest Living Barefoot Show, and found the site (www.livingbarefoot.info) is no more. While the podcasts...

    Huaraches as tools in ultras

    Running ultras in huaraches has been done; Tarahumara, many Luna Monkeys and others. It seems to me that the majority of the races those examples are running tend to be in dry conditions. Maybe I am wrong about that. Which brings me to my questions. 1. If you are running long distances and...

    Worst Foot and Calf Cramps I've Ever Experienced

    I shared this over on Ted's forum as well, but wanted to post it here too. I figure the more feedback the better. I am guessing this has to do with being dehydrated and sleep deprived... I pulled an all-nighter to finish a final paper, so I last got out of bed yesterday morning at 6 or 7am...

    Ultra Forum Glitch?

    Is anyone else finding that the Ultra forum shows up sporadically? I've found that sometimes it loads without a problem and then after going back to its front page none of the threads show up. Interesting, now the system won't allow me to post this question to the Ultra forum. Gracia y paz...

    low productivity b/c of day dreaming about running

    To borrow a phrase from an unknown source, "I am sucking at life lately." I'm trying to build back up to my old and trusty 10 to 12 mile weeks after dealing with tendonitis back in August and September. On the other hand, I have to get my graduate school work done. Lately, for all my day...

    Other BFRs right under our noses.

    Today after church I had the chance to talk a little with an Emory student named Josh. Turns out he has been running barefoot for the same amount of time as I have. I know you're around here from time to time Josh, so it was nice to meet you. TJ, I've extended an invite to the next chapter...

    Ultra dreams?

    How do I know I have been reading to much of the ULTRAList and race reports? This morning I awoke having freshly completed my first 100 miler only to be DQ'd, and with Gary Cantrell (aka Lazarus Lake) and his dog, Big Dog, in it you know it was a strange dream. I haven't even had the pleasure...

    Which would you run...

    My wife and I are considering running either the Merrell Naked Foot 5K in Nashville or Merrell Down and Dirty Mud Run in Atlanta. I would be up for the 10K, but I am confident that she'll only be prepared for the 5K and we would like to run together, so 5K it is. The former is on October 15th...
