It's the journey, and the destination.
The Downside of Running Is it just me, or do you also experience a wide swing of emotions after running? I know many people experience a “runners’ high” – that rush of endorphins that leaves you happy and intensely present – and I do get that, but I also experience the opposite lows. I’m […]
Invisible Shoes Huarache Sandals I have to admit that I really, really wanted the Invisible Shoes huaraches to work out for me. I loved the idea of a thin-soled, open sandal. The idea of running with nothing more than a long shoe lace and bit of rubber under my feet sounded great. Unfortunately, my first […]
Ever heard of Rolfing? You read correctly, Rolf. I certainly hadn’t when my CrossFit trainer suggested I meet with his “Rolfer”. I was a bit wary making my first appointment, as Rolfing sounded like something that is illegal in most States! A word that seems better suited to describing the hurling you do after working […]
We all have the power to motivate. Twitter is great for many things. Like links to good information, humor, and encouragement. It can also be quite a good source of motivation. And that’s what I got today. I posted a tweet earlier today saying it was so warm here today in the San Francisco Bay […]
Escaping the Strip I attended the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) for three days this past week. What an experience. 120,000 people (mostly men) descend upon Vegas to see the latest gadgets, accessories, appliances, and much more. After a couple of days of trying to navigate the crowds, getting nearly blinded by all the screens and lights, […]
I just came across this video link on twitter (posted by @kentox). It’s an animation of two characters in an office setting talking about barefoot running. What makes it hilarious is not only the statements about being a deranged lunatic and breaking free from the Matrix, but the text-to-video software used creates for some funny […]
Kigo who? I don’t remember exactly how I first heard of Kigo. I think it was on twitter. What caught my attention was their talk about barefoot running and the virtues of a minimalist shoe. The fact that I hadn’t heard of them made me even more curious. I contacted Kigo and heard back from […]
A dream come true. For a lucky few, an 11 mile run in the mountains, including 6,000 feet of elevation change and a mile running on snow is normal. For me, this was a very significant event. It was not only the longest run of my life, but more meaningful for me, though, is that a […]
A Means to an End In my mind, running barefoot is a means to an end. And that end is a better running form. A form that leverages what I was born with, reducing the risk of injury and increasing my overall efficiency. But what exactly is a good running form? And how does running without […]
Review of Icebreaker GT Run Gear It might come as a shock to you that to remain cool on the trail, or wherever you run, you might want to try wearing all wool. It certainly sounded counter-intuitive when I heard that Icebreaker makes performance gear out of merino wool. With images of thick, scratchy sweaters popping […]
