    Vff run

    After all that trail running, I decided to run on the flats with my vff's. I ran along with my daughter, while she rode her bike. After a mile we ended up at her school. She ran along side me on the track. The hard mud service felt so good on my feet. I was surprised at my pace, ending up...

    First Race Ever

    Well, I have been absent from this blog for over a month- I have many other options for blogs, being a word press developer and designer, but like the theme here. I think I will officially use this as a training/race blog just dedicated to my pursuit of minimal and barefoot style running. The...

    Interesting Run

    I felt like the barefoot movement caught me by surprise. It all started one day when I was kayaking solo down my home river. I usually grab my extra car to get the shuttle done, but thought that once I put on, I would just dump my kayak gear at the take out, and run completely naked.. well, I...

    Monument Training Run

    After my last run, I was not trusting that my leg would not cramp up, but decided to go up a steep trail, to mimic the 15k I am planning to run in a few weeks. I am thankful I am actually logging more miles than I have in the past 4 months. My last long run I had a bad experience and bonked. I...

    Yeah, sounds like a good goal. I hit another 3 miles today, and feel pretty good. The race has over 1200 vertical gain, so I tried a mini run in the same area, managed 500 feet differential. Felt pretty good. I guess I have 3 or four more weeks, and I know I can cover that ground, running or...

    VFF Run- Rock Creek

    Had a great run in the rain again today. Was not sure how my legs were going to hold up today. I have had a rough time of late with my right leg cramping while transitioning to minimal running. I have had so much fun watching my progress, and listening to my body to minimize injury. Today seemed...

    Rainy Run

    Had a good run with the kids today. Picked this area because of the gates, and also to let the dog run around. Kids, dad, and dog all got some exercise. Here is a summary of my run. Gates Run

    Comment by 'twidmer' in 'Minimal Running In Oregon'

    Yeah- It seems like I was running alot, but just seemed to really be spent. I was running close to 3 miles every other day, but one day I kayaked my local river, and had to walk back in the rain to my put in shuttle. It was only a mile or two, but I ran in my booties, and was amazed at the...

    Minimal Running In Oregon

    I have just spent the last two months transitioning into my VFF's. It has been pretty rough, but the pain/discomfort has been worth it. I am now averaging 1.75 to 2.0 miles every time I go out. I usually take a few days off, but have been feeling like my body is being better to me. I stopped...
