Not Buff, Not Brilliant: April 2010
http://flabbyathlete.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Not Buff, Not Brilliant. Wednesday, April 28, 2010. How Far Will You Go for a Set of Vibrams. The popularity of the VFF has gotten out of hand I think. You go around the handful of local stores in the SF Bay Area, find out that many models and sizes have completely sold out. The salespeople who don't wear them state (in incredulous tones) that they can't keep them on the shelves. Asked her to buy them on his behalf;. Had a recent running injury to his calves;. Your wife/girlfriend would more likely just ...

Not Buff, Not Brilliant: July 2010
http://flabbyathlete.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Not Buff, Not Brilliant. Sunday, July 4, 2010. Final Thoughts on the VFF. This will be my last post on the VFF. Its taken up a little bit too much space on this blog for the past 6 months. But I DO NOT plan on using the VFF again for distances longer than 6-7 miles, or as my race day shoes. In the end, its not running in bare feet (what the VFF tries to simulate) that is better for you, its running with a mid/forefoot strike. The VFF is a means to achieving that end - not an end in and of itself. This ho...

Not Buff, Not Brilliant: September 2010
http://flabbyathlete.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Not Buff, Not Brilliant. Saturday, September 4, 2010. Had the two most expensive pieces of athletic equipment stolen from me during the past week;. My bike: An early 1990's Specialized Allez Epic Carbon Fiber frame. My wetsuit: A Quintano Roo wetsuit I got as a closeout item from Lombardy Sports 4 years ago. How do I know it was through the garage? Because thats where we've had the most problems. Another tenant in the building called the cops one afternoon when a pair of homeless people snuck into ou...

Not Buff, Not Brilliant. Saturday, February 13, 2010. Vibram Five Finger Vs. Asics Motion Control Shoes. Those who have read my postings on the Vibram Five Finger shoes have noted my conflicted views on the product. Today I had an experience which, unexpectedly, pushed me a little more on the side of a VFF supporter. THAT was when the pain began. To my shock and surprise, the very spot on my thigh where two days before I had taken a nasty round kick began to hurt every time my foot struck the ground....

Not Buff, Not Brilliant: Getting Old Don't Mean You Slow Down

Not Buff, Not Brilliant. Saturday, August 6, 2011. Getting Old Don't Mean You Slow Down. Last week I did the Tiburon Triathlon. It was the 2nd triathlon I've done this season, the second triathlon I've done since ending my three year long triathlon hiatus. My first time doing this triathlon was 5 years ago - when I was 15 pounds lighter, and much younger both mentally and physically. I had very few expectations for myself this time around, other than to get some more race time in, and a have fun. While I...

Not Buff, Not Brilliant. Tuesday, May 18, 2010. He Stole My Quote! Came across this article in the SF Chronicle the other day. Http:/ www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi? They quote a guy named Hank Pellissier, who says running barefoot is like unprotected sex. Its the same damn thing I said on my post from March 5th! Http:/ flabbyathlete.blogspot.com/2010/03/vff-ive-joined-cult.html. Echhhthe whole world is going to think barefoot runners and vibram wearers hate condoms. Posted by Iron Geek.

Not Buff, Not Brilliant. Friday, March 5, 2010. VFF - I've Joined the Cult. At this point, I think I can say I'm a convert to the Cult of the Vibram Five Finger. I had posted previously that I had switched off running back and forth between my VFF's and my usual running shoes - a pair of Asics Motion Control shoes with a sole insert. Last weekend, I got to the point where I didn't switch from the VFF to the ASICS at mid run. I did a full run with just the VFF. What happened when I ran with the VFF's?
