    whats your favorite surface to walk/run bf?

    Dry and smooth asphalt is my greatest pleasure for barefoot running. For walking, I also very much enjoy chances to walk on old walkway stones that have been weathered down to a delicious smoothness. It's also a great pleasure when you can walk in some warm mud. Golf courses tend to be great...

    5 days and 33 miles last week. 2 days off because of stupid snow and a bit of laziness on Saturday afternoon when I could have run. 7 miles today, one of those runs where the legs felt lively and I ran on the fast side of easy early and got down to around tempo pace near the end. It's one of...

    Alpacas are awesome. Rick, you should see if one wants to be your running partner. That might make the news, barefoot running guy with alpaca for partner. So this morning I crossed over 100 miles for this month. That makes 6 straight months where I've run at least 100 miles. With a few miles...

    Mileage reporting week 11 of 2015

    Well with the winter mostly retreating now, I've put in some miles. Over the last 8 days, I've run nearly 64 miles and after today's run, for the first time ever I've got a 7 day stretch of running of more than 60 miles. I had a good 13.64 mile long run yesterday, pretty much easy pace and nice...

    Mileage Reporting 10th week of 2015

    Weather let me run only 3 days this week, Tuesday, yesterday and today. 11.2 miles on Tuesday, 3.1 yesterday, and 12.6 today. It feels crazy warm today, I guess because we've finally reached what should be about the average temperature for this time of the year. Although I will admit that it was...

    Mileage Reporting 9th week of 2015

    Ran 38.7 miles this week. Took Monday off because I was a bit grumpy and the weather wasn't good. The rest of the week followed a pattern if I managed to get myself out the door, what often started out with the idea of maybe only going a few miles would turn into 6 to 9 miles. Except Friday...

    Ran just 4x this week, missing 1 day because of sloppy roads and missing 2 days because of hellish wind and cold. But that was enough to give 30.8 miles. Ran 6.55 miles on the fast easy side in 57:58, then ran a slow easy 10.1 miles at around 9:55 pace, ran 5.6 miles yesterday 48:48. Then I...

    It kind of sucks, but I think I'll take a day off from running today. The wind is howling out there and it's about 6 degrees. So will end the 19 day running streak which finished up with a 10 mile run yesterday. Maybe one good thing about the cold that's here now is that it motivated me all...

    I'm not surprised it was icy up your way. Down here it was just, just warm enough to not form ice, except for that patch that almost took me out on the step going into the house after I was done.

    You know what they say, all work and no running makes Dama a dull hummingbird. I hope the work eases back some for you.

    Yes, it is, stranger! Of course not every run is going to feel so good, but when they happen, take'em.

    Mileage Reporting 7th week of 2015

    I had time, motivation, and decent weather this morning. Legs also felt real good, so I chugged out 10.5 miles. I ended up running the last 5 miles kinda fast and ended up running the whole distance in 1:35:16, about 9:06 pace overall. Scary. I was using the Xeros today and was floating down...

    Yeah, I hate the grit that follows after snow melt. I don't run barefoot on that stuff.

    Yeah, you got to watch out for sheep. They may look all peaceful, but they're plotting something. Ran 7.1 miles yesterday and 5.5 miles today. I'm very much enjoying the leap forward I'm now seeing in the paces I can run. It's also sort of scary, to think I'm just ambling along and look down...
