    [Apr 5, 2012] Memorial run for Caballo Blanco in Forest Park, Thursday April 5th (Portland, OR)

    Hey peeps, Apologies for this being so last minute. I want to do a memorial run for our friend Caballo Blanco who we had the honor of meeting and sharing pizza and beer with when he came to speak a few months back. I'm thinking a mellow run on Wildwood Trail (Aspen St. entrance) would be nice...

    Hood to Coast race report (and a slice of humble pie).

    The H2C was this Friday and Saturday and I was lucky enough to have been given an entry ticket by an injured friend. I was determined to do it BF since I had yet to wear shoes since I started running again a year ago (after over 20 years of not running). Problem was that in my quest to find...

    Interviewed again by local paper. Fail # 2 for the Oregonian.

    Hey peeps, Have a look at this article when y'all have a minute. It needs some comment back up. Pretty frustrating little bit of "journalism" http://tinyurl.com/4yo85pu Thanks!

    Let's have your PR's!

    Be great if the chapter "Races and Events" could extend to "Races, Events and Competitive Running" or something like that. I know we are in the minority but there are some of us BF'ers and minimalists that are interested in our performance and running fast. In the spirit of getting this out of...

    Free race! Anyone up for an adventure? Read below.

    Hello everybody, This was originally only posted in the OR chapter but I thought I'd share it wider in case anyone wanted to come from farther away for an adventure. I have to get back to the organizer ASAP with names and birthdays of anyone who wants to attend. We have been invited to run a...

    Shout out to Barefoot Terry of the San Francisco Chapter. RESPECT

    Just a quick big up to Barefoot Terry of the SF Chapter. I used to run a lot in his area so I joined the chapter as more of an honorary member than anything else and also to have BF buddies to run with when I visit my mom in the Bay Area. So I've been getting a ton of messages from Terry...

    Article: Born to be a Trail Runner By Christopher McDougall

    Thanks Chris for sharing this. We have a little motley crew of trail runners here in Oregon that meet on a pretty regular basis who also enjoy "the goofy thrill of banding together in the face of slippery awfulness." We have a 30.4 mile trail here (Wildwood trail) that would fit the 50km Fat Ass...

    Hater website, seen it?

    www.runningbarefootisbad.com I saw this in the mediocre article about BF'ing in our local paper today. At first I was outraged then after a little while I couldn't help but think that it might even be a good thing ultimately. A little along the lines of needing two political parties. What do...

    Zapmamak's sick shirts!

    Zap, apologies if this was posted somewhere and I missed it. I just went to your site and saw your two shirt models with the easy online store (work of a pro). I love the target one and want to buy one. I thought I'd ask here (to big ya up!) if the mediums run big and/or if the large's run...

    I'm in the news too (sort of).

    Nothing to do with BFR here. :shy: If anyone is a USA Vogue reader, have quick peek at this month's issue (the one with Lady Gaga on the cover) and turn to page 350. You'll find my first published photo in a fashion mag and a brief mention of me.

    Stretching?

    Hello all. Was wondering if the more knowledgeable in the community could weigh in on stretching and BF'ing. I have heard you aren't supposed to stretch before running so I wasn't too sure. Today I had a long stretch of my IT band before a run (which went great) and in highschool in the...

    Sasquatch read Chi Running

    Just watched the Sasquatch Documentary (thought of you Stomper). I'm convinced of the Sasquatch's existence because the prints show what a perfect step it has. No hard heal strike and the high point outside of the print suggesting strongly that it lands on the outside corner, pushing the...

    How do you train for a mile?

    Hello all, I ran a mile today, or at least think I did. I went to a track (something I had not done in 25 years) and took a stab at a BF mile. I wasn't even sure where to stop and end because there was a bunch of lanes so I ran in one of the middle ones and stopped and started my watch in the...
