A night run in my grey bikilas in Whitemarsh Island

My second run in my new grey bikilas ls was a little longer than the first one but not by much.  I ran this evening 3.7 miles in Whitemarsh Island after lifting weights at the Island’s Y.  The run tonight was kind of fun because it was in the dark, with my headlamp lighting...

2011 Mileage Report

  I finished off 2011 with 1217 miles logged running. That breaks down to 101.41 miles per month and 25.35 miles per week.   I would have liked to have logged more mileage.   I will do better than that in 2012. Every three months I’ll take another picture of my shoes and feet...

Picture of the Day: Minimalist Mileage Countdown

The picture of the daiy is of my minimalist running attire.  The first pair of vff’s that I bought were the Sprints.  I like them a lot but they were not good for running.  After a little over 300 miles I retired them and got my first pair of bikilas, the red ones.  I’m...

Encountered While Running: Jesus’ Feet in Bonaventure Cemetery

I’m going to start something new on this site.  It’s going to be called “encountered while running”.  I run with a camera…as you may know.  I started running with a camera a few years ago after coming across so many cool things and wishing I had a camera to capture those moments. Since I...

After a Demoralizing Run I’m Back on My Feet Running!

I have lacked motivation to run since my last run this past Friday evening.  Last Friday’s run really demoralized me.  I was shooting for a 20+ mile run and ended up only logging 18.6 miles and the last two miles I had to walk because my stomach was so uneasy.  Every thing fell apart...

A Thursday Night Run in Thunderbolt with Cookies

I ran in my vff’s again yesterday. This time it was outdoors instead of a treadmill. I really enjoy running in vff’s. If only the balls of my feet were not so sensitive. I ran 8.03 miles. Around mile 5 the balls of my feet began to feel like they were on fire. This...

Treadmill Running & Rain

  Yesterday I did a 6 mile treadmill run in my vff’s.  It was quite a challenge to keep my focus long enough on a treadmill to complete six miles.  If I had not been watching Iron Man 2 on netflix via my iphone I believe I would have perished. Although, yesterday’s treadmill run...

Out with the Red, In with the Blue…Bikilas!

Yesterday’s run was the first using my blue bikilas.  I retired the red bikilas 8 miles short of 500 without regret.  The soles of my red bikilas are severely worn and it was impacting my ability to run and train.   Running on hot days was becoming very painful because the heat coming off the...

A Friday Evening Run and a Movie – Life is Good

I ran 8.48 miles Friday evening and, still had energy to  watch the Green Lantern.  I enjoyed both immensely.  The run was around Thunderbolt and my neighborhood and, I watched the movie at Victory 9 theatre. A guy had a seizure during the first 15 minutes of the movie, though.  That was rough.  My...
