    Merrell Vapor Glove 2

    Seems like I searched everywhere for a shoe that was most like not wearing shoes. I'm not a barefoot runner, but I like shoes more like a foot covering without support. I was disappointed to find the VFFs are very lacking with their current models. The only one I would consider is the KSO Evo. I...

    For those who have had plantar fasciitis

    I've been battling a bad case of PF for about 5 or 6 months. I'm going to physical therapy, rolling my foot and calves and using a frozen water bottle. It is better, but still healing. I think part of the problem is being a 51 year old female whose hormones are affecting my fascia, tendons and...

    Gunfighter Stampede HM

    Did my half marathon yesterday. I slept pretty well Friday night, until 3:00 am. Woke up and couldn't do more than try to rest until 5:00 am. I got up and got things ready and had banana pancakes (2 eggs, small banana and 1 tblsp of coconut flour). I wore a tank top along with spandex shorts...

    Beat Coach Pete 5k

    Ran the Beat Coach Pete in Boise today. Lots of people there. Its a fun run to raise scholarship money for BSU students. Its more of a fun run, and I had fun!! Lots of dodging around people, but a great time was had by most. The rain stopped and it was in the 40s with some wind. As you can see...

    Flipbelt - for carrying cell phone, keys, huaraches, etc.

    I followed the suggestion on another site about using a flipbelt for carrying a cell phone: www.flipbelt.com They are basically a stretchy polyester type belt you put around your waist or hips to carry things. Put your phone, keys, huaraches, whatever in the openings, then flip it over. Your...

    My favorite running buddy

    This is Jet and I after our run on Dec. 31 and after our run last Saturday. The temp was 4f. Don't feel sorry for him, the icicles are from him constantly sticking his nose in the snow.

    GoLite Black Mountain Thermal Wind Pant

    http://www.golite.com/Ws-Black-Mountain-Thermal-Wind-Pant-P766.aspx I was in need of a new pair of winter running pants as my Sporthill XC pants were pretty much shredded after seven winters of running in the cold. Based on a review in Running and Rambling, I thought I'd try the GoLite Black...

    Jammed Pinky Toe - Healing Time?

    Nine days ago I "jammed" my right pinky toe by accidentally running into my dog's big heavy chewy bone. The chewy bone was up against something immoveable. I had x-rays taken and they didn't see a fracture. Now my pinky toe is still very swollen, along with the top of my foot near my toes...

    Nutrition on long runs question

    I've read that if you're going to be out running for more than 1.5 to 2 hours, you should probably supplement with some sort of protein during the run. As it takes me about 2.5 hours for a HM, I'm wondering if in your opinion, it would be necessary to ingest some form of protein while I'm out...

    Hello BRS - Minimalist from Idaho

    I've been a runner for about 6 years or so. Started off with marshmallows or foot coffins if you will. About a year and a half ago, after many injuries, Hip bursitis/tendonitis, Morton's Neuroma, IT Band and lastly, achilles tendonitis, I was convinced by my PT to begin using the POSE method...
