    Finished my first (partially) barefoot ultra

    I ran the Paatuwaqatsi 50k on the Hopi reservation in AZ last month.

    Running more by running less (often)

    For the last couple of months I've only been running every other day and the results have been great. My weekly mileage has gone up but I'm much less injury-prone. (I wrote a full discussion here: http://bfinaz.blogspot.com/2012/08/running-more-by-running-less-often.html). Has anyone else...

    Vibram FiveFinger KSO Trek

    I think the VFF KSO Trek is one of the best trail running shoes and by far the best minimalist hiking shoe ever made. It is being discontinued, sadly, but the bright side is that it is currently on clearance at a few places. Full review here...
