GoMotion Reactor Vest Product Review | Barefoot Heretic
https://barefootheretic.wordpress.com/2013/03/18/gomotion-reactor-vest-product-review
GoMotion Reactor Vest Product Review. March 18, 2013. In Reach the Beach Relay. An unexpected USPS package appeared in the mail. I didn’t recall ordering anything and I didn’t recognize the return address. It wasn’t very likely (zero likelihood, actually) that I drank enough Miller High Life Light beer and earned enough points to get free apparel or accessories to flaunt and make all my friends jealous. For safe nighttime running. No, not really. Here’s what really happened. A $14 reflective vest from Tr...

Spring Fever Strikes | Barefoot Heretic
https://barefootheretic.wordpress.com/2013/03/05/spring-fever-strikes
March 5, 2013. Last Friday was the final weekday of vacation week for our town’s schools. I was encouraged to take that day off from work so all of us could go to the Museum of Science. In Boston with some friends. This is an affordable go-to option for us as a family throughout the year because we have a membership, and frequent visits make it worthwhile. In May, the New Hampshire Reach the Beach Relay. In September, and then some other long(ish) distance race in the fall. As a nerdy architect, this vie...

Barefoot Heretic
https://barefootheretic.wordpress.com/2013/08/12/195
August 12, 2013. My doctor prescribed one of those newer-generation medications for a case of slightly high blood pressure I’ve had for as long as I can remember. I’m sure you’ve seen the ads for these new medicines in magazines like Golf Digest and on TV. They come with a long laundry list of possible side effects, like:. 8220;Possible side effects include migraines, dizziness, loss of appetite, sudden bleeding from the mouth and rectum and possession by the Prince of Darkness…”. A couple of days later,...

Winterproofing my life | Barefoot Heretic
https://barefootheretic.wordpress.com/2014/08/06/winterproofing-my-life
August 6, 2014. Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That’s relativity. I don’t know if Albert Einstein actually said that, but the internet tells me that he did. You be the judge…. My other biggest gripe with Winter is the sheer expense of heating my 224 year-old house. As you might imagine, it’s not exactly Energy Star rated, and every year has been one financial beating after another. So we need to find wa...

The Joy of Streaking | Barefoot Heretic
https://barefootheretic.wordpress.com/2013/08/09/the-joy-of-streaking
The Joy of Streaking. August 9, 2013. No, I haven’t signed up for one of those nude 5k races. I honestly don’t think I could go through with it, although it would be fun to stand at a starting line of such a race without even running shoes on, point to someone else’s running shoes and sanctimoniously say “Cheater…”. All was going well for 140 days until I pinched my sciatic nerve (badly) while running in a hotel treadmill in Keene, NH. I ended up missing work and staying home for two days and I could...

The Road to Boston | Barefoot Heretic
https://barefootheretic.wordpress.com/2013/03/07/the-road-to-boston
The Road to Boston. March 7, 2013. So now there’s a destination. It’s Copley Square in Boston on Patriot’s Day, some year in the future. At the time of this writing, if you look to the left of this text there’s a widget that says “ Shires of Vermont Marathon. 2 Months to go” which is the first milestone. It was selected late last fall for a number of reasons. After disappointing showings last year in Bristol. I’d like to get back on the horse sooner rather than later. Que sera sera…. This is the first mi...

More Thoughts on Boston | Barefoot Heretic
https://barefootheretic.wordpress.com/2013/04/17/more-thoughts-on-boston
More Thoughts on Boston. April 17, 2013. The first indication that something was up was when I walked upstairs to my office, and I was able to glance into another office where I saw some co-workers staring at a TV in their work area. I noticed some kind of commotion happening on the screen as I passed but didn’t think much of it. Could’ve been anything. Then, a few momnets later, as I sat down at my desk, I got a text message from my Wife that said “Explosions at finish line at Marathon! Furthermore, I c...

About | Barefoot Heretic
https://barefootheretic.wordpress.com/about
I’ve been running barefoot since around 2007, with an increased use of minimalist shoes more recently. Why ‘Barefoot Heretic’? After running in modern running shoes for a long time and trying the lesser alternative all the way down to bare feet, I decided for myself that less is more. An extreme (and tongue-in-cheek) way of looking at it is that I’ve decided not to bow at the altar of Nike. Conventional wisdom and public reaction be damned. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.
