Let's be honest folks. Marathons can be downright dreadful. Unless you're an ultra runner, an elite, or a crazy person they are generally long, hard, and exceptionally painful for everyone involved. They are like getting your ass kicked along with several thousand of your closest friends. That...
More than any other race of smaller distance, I think that marathons, and the training that precede them, are a journey. A lot of the time, running the marathon is the easy part. I certainly found that to be true in my case. The road leading up to the Honolulu Marathon was paved with many...
I'm not going to lie citizens. The Maple Grove Barefoot Guy does have his weakness. Up until this weekend, that weakness was barefoot running in the snow. And of course, doughnuts are another chink in my armor (to hell with paleo if I see a box of doughnuts). Mostly this weakness is just me...
This is a great post stomper. It's great to see you apply lessons from barefoot running to your diet. I think you are on the right path about how you feel about food. I think the first thing that we as Americans don't do well is to treat food as what it should be: a source of sustainance and...
Check out those epic legs bitches!
So I ran my personal favorite race this weekend; the James Page Blubber Run 5K. It's my favorite because it revolves around my two other passions besides running:drinking and dressing up in costume. It also involves running while drinking, which I suppose is...
I've been thinking about this stuff for a while. Some of it isa little dated topic wise, so forgive me bringing this stuff up again. But if I don't write it down, I'll keep thinking about it during my runs...and that's just annoying.
Like the inevitable passing of the seasons, the "other...
Dear BRSmembers,

I've been doing a lot of bike riding lately because of a bad bout of the band (ITBS). I haven't run for the last week. So I got to thinking about biking, and how different it is from running; especially running barefoot.
That's my bike. I don't know anything about bikes really. In fact, you...
I had several firsts this last weekend. First marathon. First minimalist marathon. First time in Duluth since Iwas in 6th grade. First time Itook a shot of whiskey during a run.
Myweekend started early on Thursday, when I left work at 4pm to travel up to Duluth. Now normally Iwouldn't take an...
I've been floating around this forum and the "other forum" for a couple months now. I'm probably known mostly as the weird dude with the cat picture. I've never blogged before, but I figured this would be a good forum to show you the guy behind the cat. I also thought I would post some pictures...
