    SEE MY UPDATED POST BELOW (With Pictures): Boston Success!

    Boston Success! By The Ramzev Hi friends! I did what I never thought I’d have the chance to do, I ran Boston Marathon barefoot! It was a cool, overcast day with an occasional light rain so the conditions were perfecto for a 26.2 mile jaunt through the countryside! My longest training run was...

    Let’s talk beer!

    So, I work for a brewery. When I was talking about me running Boston barefoot the conversation went to us brewing a beer to celebrate barefoot running. Question for the class: What’s a good beer name? What would be the style? Cheers! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Planet Fitness

    This is new to me. I’ve been running BF since 2009, I’ve never had the need to join a gym. Training for Boston created the need for me to join a gym. We have a planet fitness in my town so I joined up. I went in for the first time this evening and after about 39 minutes in the treadmill wearing...

    I’m Back!

    Hi all, been a while since I hung here in the BF hood! I’m an OG from the beginnings of the Runners World forums, I believe the first post there was about yoga toes. [emoji16] I took some time off, but I’m back on the road, building my base and conditioning my feets. I’m in lower Delaware, I...

    Surviving the Treadmill

    Since I really hate running in the cold I've been on the treadmill till it warms up. I have always found the treadmill stupidly boring, even with music I can't get more than three miles before I just have to stop. I've finally come up with a solution; Netflix documentaries! I got a full five...

    Activity Trackers

    So the new rage is the wrist activity trackers (Fitbit, Jawbone, etc.) does anyone use these? I just ordered the Garmin vivosmart, it seems like to covers what I'd like. I'm curious how these things work for running. I haven't worn a watch to run in a couple years, I don't want to feel any...

    Hi, I'm Dave. I've been away for a while, figured I'd stop in and say hello. Been long enough that I should probably post as a new member...:sorry: I took some time off running for the last year and a half or two years, new job and college got the best of my time. I graduate in a few months so...

    Sudden Vision loss

    Last Thursday I woke up and had problems seeing correctly out of my left eye with my contact. I replaced it thinking that maybe I had a bad one, but no change. I went to the eye Dr. that afternoon and found out that literally overnight my prescription had changed on that eye from -2.5 to -3.75...

    My 5-Year Anniversary

    My 5-Year Anniversary By Ramzev Five years ago today I posted this to Facebok, "Started training myself for barefoot running today, ran 1/2 mile unshod. It'll take a while to go completely shoeless, but I'll get there." So, there you go. It's my five year anniversary of runing barefoot...

    The BRS and Boston

    This is just a thought. But, we are probably one of not too many "running clubs" that span the world. We have membera all over the globe. We can almost all relate to what happened in Boston; we run races, we have family at these races watching from the finish line, we know someone who ran or has...

    New 1/2 Marathon PR!

    I ran the Caesar Rodney 1/2 marathon in Wilmington, DE yesterday. It was a chilly day and the course was very hilly, but I managed to run a PR by almost a minute. Previous PR was 1:46:50, yesterday I ran a 1:45:58. This is the oldest countinuously run road race in the United States, it was the...

    Out of the mouth of parents...

    So, along the lines of the other thread, what white lies have you told your kids? I am constantly making stuff up when they ask questions, my favorite is... When my daughter was little we were heading to the mall, she asked why they call it a mall. I told her that a long time ago a man had a...

    knock, knock, knock Longboard. knock, knock, knock Longboard...

    I'm looking for asome advise. I'm looking to get myself a longboard (with wheels) and I'm trying to figure out the best type. I'll be using it for just cruising around, I live in a fairly flat area so hills aren't prevolant. It looks like the drop through trucks would be a benefit due to a lower...
