I was lucky enough to get a pair of Wave Rider 19 from Mizuno to check out. As of this morning, I’ve worn them on four runs ranging from four to 17 miles (I’m training for the LA Marathon, remember) and I’m super happy with what I’ve experienced so far. As usual with this brand,…
I had chance to take a closer look at the new Puma running shoe, the Puma IGNITE.I’ll be honest, I was fully skeptical about these kicks. Puma? Really? Not the first brand I think of when I’m in the market for running shoes. But again, I was pleasantly surprised! And in fact, psyched about them.…
I think we can all agree that treadmill running is kinda awful. I mean, there’s a reason we call it the Dread Mill. But what if you were to run on one outside? And what if that “outside” was in the middle of Times Square? You’d be into it, right? So when I was given…
I’ve done my share of shoe reviews on this blog. It’s kind of a no brainer for shoe companies to contact me and ask my opinion given the name of my blog. Usually what happens is I get contacted, agree to review the product (or not), wear the shoes for a day around the city…
Let me start this review by letting you know that I’ve been using a GPS unit since I started running seven years ago. I’ve tried almost all of the commercially available models and brands and don’t see a reason to go out for a run, ride or swim with recording it and obsessing over the…
I was emailing with a friend the other day who is getting back into running and she asked me for advice on what to wear while running in the rain. Interestingly enough, I had been planning an article on this so I was more than prepared to answer her question. In my mind there are…
As much as I hate to admit it, we’re finally at the time of year when the temps are not going to be hitting 65 any longer. And as much as I would like to think I can run outside in shorts all winter, I realize that’s a delusional thought. So when my friend Sara…
As we wind up the summer running season and prepare for the crisp, cool runs of the fall season (my absolute favorite) I thought it time to reflect on the running wardrobe I’ve been wearing for the summer. I pretty much stick to the same running outfit and gear each time I go out. I…
I’ve finally gotten into the pool to train for the 2013 NYC Triathlon on July 14 (better late than never right?). Considering that the swim training I did for the race in 2012 consisted of participating in the race in 2011 (meaning, none) I am way ahead of the game. In fact, I feel pretty strong…
With the first of my three planned marathons in the books for the year and the BK13.1 behind me, it’s time to admit I need to start training for the New York City Triathlon in July. So far this year, I’ve logged just under 400 miles on the bike (kinda pathetic) and exactly 0 miles…
