    Dnf'ed my last marathon...

    The Gusher Marathon is my hometown marathon and I've run it 5 times previously so it was hard for me to drop down to the half. I knew that this would be a tough one for me since I had just completed a marathon in the Woodlands 7 days prior. My body and my feet could have used some more recovery...

    My first 50 miler

    The Brazos Bend 100 (50 Miler) was my first ultramarathon. I never thought I would do anything above a marathon but I'm glad I did it and was able to finish with some help of friends on the trails. Although I normally run in Vibrams I opted for Skoras for this race as I've broken a toe before...

    Why do BFR hate VFFs so much?

    I've noticed a lot, especially on Dailymile, that barefoot runners seem to have a strong disdain for VFFs. It seems they would rather go back to shoes then put some toe gloves on. I'm a VFF runner. What are your thoughts?

    Gusher Marathon 2012 This was my "A" race so I wanted to run a serious marathon this time which meant I wasn't going to run with my GoPro cam, make unnecessary stops, or slow down to chat with other runners like I did for the Houston Marathon. My original goal was to break 4:29:15 and beat...

    Why won't the newspaper reporter listen?

    So my brother and I got interviewed by one of the local newspaper reporters about minimalist and barefoot running, he runs BF and I run in VFFs, and the guy asked a few questions about how we started and tips on how to run BF and in VFFs. We told him the normal stuff like take it real easy at...
