21 Mar Review & Giveaway: Salomon XA Skin Pro 10+3 Hydration Pack

Posted at 02:06h in BLOG, GEAR, GIMMIE LIST, MISC, REVIEWS, TRAINING, VIDEOS by The Ginger 2 Comments

This pack is awesome. While it fits more like a vest (which I'm glad to see is the new general trend in hydration packs overall), the XA Skin Pro 10+3 pack has quite a few bells and whistles that take this pack to the next level. I've been playing around...

21 Mar Review: Pearl Izumi Ultra 3/4 Tight

It takes a bold man to wear tights, and an even bolder man to wear 3/4 length tights. Lucky for you, I am that man. I've rocked these suckers for a few months now through the brutal SoCal winter (sarcasm) and love 'em. They definitely proved durable and comfortable through...

08 Mar Review: Brooks Pure Grit 2

It's no secret how much I love the Brooks PureGrit 1. Despite that shoe having a major traction flaw, I still consider it one of my favorite trails shoes - especially for the dry socal trails I run on. When the PureGrit 2 was released, I was stoked to learn...

20 Feb Review: StrideBox

First of all, this review is a little different than normal. StrideBox isn't a product so much as it is a service that provides products. The idea - which has existed in other industries for awhile - is simple. The customer pays a monthly fee - in this case $15...

[caption id="attachment_1143" align="alignleft" width="260"] Ray Miller 50k Course[/caption] How can one complain about a run when they were surrounded by a breathtaking ocean sunrise, rolling hills straight out of Jurassic Park, and brutal ascents followed by rollercoaster downhill singletrack. The Ray Miller 50/50 was a week ago, but the race was...

08 Feb Review: Injinji Performance 2.0 Socks

The new 2013 Injinji Performance 2.0 line of toe socks are AWESOME. I've worn my fair share of these foot-beasts and can vouch for not only their comfort, but their ability to get you through long races unscathed. I was hesitant about toe socks after a pretty bad experience with...

29 Jan Review: Saucony Kinvara 3

This shoe is awesome. There are so many things that I like and only a few things I don't. If you haven't run in a Kinvara yet, I would absolutely recommend you try them on and taking them on some miles. While the shoes seem to break down early in...

18 Dec Review: Skora Form

I love wearing the Skora Form all around in my daily life. While I've found the faults to interfere with the comfort of wearing them on regular long runs, I still find these shoes to be very comfortable for the day-to-day lifestyle as well as form/speed drills. I'm also not...

Let's just say this about the PureGrit: It's magical. I love so many things about this shoe. It does still have it's faults, but they're small and will not keep me from wearing these suckers religiously on the trails. In fact, I was so confident in this shoe, I wore...

[caption id="attachment_986" align="alignleft" width="180"] The North Face 50k Championships[/caption] This last weekend, caked in mud, sweat and tears, I completed my very first ultra marathon - something I NEVER thought I'd be able do if you asked me a few years ago. This wasn't just any ultra, this was the insanity...
