Felt ok, decided not to push it too much since it's been awhile...

It felt good to go out and get 2 miles knocked out!

Another run on my lunch. In jeans and a polo, but I had so much energy, that I wanted to practice my forefoot strike more. Not a bad run! Really enjoyable, and I needed it. Tomorrow I may do the same.Run Summary:

Found this on youtube.  Good, informative video...even though they got Christopher McDougall's name wrong and said "John" McDougall at one point :

Had a bit of a slow run with my dog Jack. He kept my pace down, which was probably a good thing, since it was only my second run in my VFFs. It's definitely much more of a calf workout running barefoot style! Next run should be better.

A 2 mile run in my normal running shoes was a little weird after running in the VFFs. It felt totally unnatural, and I could tell I was running a lot slower than normal.It made me really think about whether I was hitting heel first or with the ball of my foot. It was pretty tiring, and I couldn't get into my run. All in all, not too bad...10 minute miles, but I was a little frustrated.

Well, I ran my first mile in my new Vibram Five Fingers. It actually felt really good, even though it was a completely alien experience. Your feet naturally adjust when running, and you strike with the ball of your foot instead of heel striking.I'm slowly introducing myself to them once-weekly to avoid injury. Here is a snapshot of a summary of my run, and a pic of the Vibrams:- Posted using

I have been meaning to post a blog about the Nike+ GPS App for months, but sadly, I have fallen off the wagon lately with my running. Time to get back to it! The Nike+ App is a wonderful, and cheap running companion for your iPhone. For 1.99, I don't think you can do any better. This App does everything I need for tracking runs. It tracks distance, pace, and it will track your route through

It's been a long time since I've updated the blog.  I plan to get started again this week.  I've just recently ordered some Nike Free Plus shoes to try out something closer to barefoot running!  More to come soon!

On Wednesday, I received my ARMPOCKET SPORT 20 just in time for our 2 mile run on Thanksgiving Day.  This thing rocks!  www.armpocket.com . I have been looking for a good solution to carry my iPhone on my runs.  I use the Nike plus GPS app while I'm running to track my speed and distance (review on the Nike plus GPS app coming soon).  Not only did I find a solution for carrying the iPhone; I

This past Saturday, November 20th 2010, a few of my fellow co-workers and I ran the Living History Farms Cross Country Race.  The Living History Farms Race is a 7 Mile Cross Country Race through open fields, woods, and creeks. It was my first Cross Country race, so I was a little nervous about how I would handle it.   I was also worried about the 7 Miles, as I have never ran more than 4 or 5
