My Latest Zero Drop

I love zero-drop shoes… In fact, that’s all I run in these days. I ran the Zion Half in Altra Intuition and was alternating between those and the Brooks PureDrift for all of my runs. But the Altras have lived their whole life span and are ready to be retired. I …

I mentioned in my race report from Saturday that I wore my Agloves. Specifically I wore the Agloves Grip Touch pair. Want to know what’s cool about these? You can use touchscreen devices with them! (Plus, the grip version has little grippy dots on the inside of the glove so …

Wildskins Armwarmers

Last week I wore these new armwarmers by Wildskins while running. It was a gray, slightly drizzly day and I needed a little extra warmth. These did the trick! I love that they have thumbholes, so they come down further on the hand. And as gross as this may seem …
