    Isabella and the dairy farm

    Isabella patiently waited in the car as I ran into the Starbucks on Victory and Skidaway to get a cup of coffee for the hike at the dairy farm.  She’s such a sport. It was a pretty cold but enjoyable and peaceful hike at the...

    Long 5 Finger Run…in the cold too.

    Today was  soggy and cold and just a nasty day to be outdoors.  I ran anyway.  I ran 9.56 miles in Thunderbolt (where I live) with my vibram 5 fingers.  That was an experience.  My pinky toe on my right foot still aches.  The toenail...

    Born to Run – with 5 Fingers

    This is incredibly interesting.  I’ve now logged about a dozen miles running with my vibram 5 fingers which are essentially gloves for my feet and, I can tell you that your body will quickly adapt to running this bare minimally.  The first time I ran...

    Cemetery & Dairy Farm Running with no Stomach Problems! Yeah!

    Cemetery Running

    I ran five miles at the Greenwich and Bonaventure cemeteries today.  I intended to go longer but my stomach would not have it so.  Thirty minutes into my run my stomach began to gurgle and goggle and do other kinds of unpleasant things.  My last...
