I’m pretty stoked that I finally get the chance to review Newton’s brand new 2012 Distance Lightweight Trainer. This is a fantastic shoe from Newton and betters an already dynamite shoe from the 2011 line. I train in this shoe; I race in this shoe; I party in this shoe. There are a handful of changes to the 2012 model – which I cover in the video. While most of the changes may seem minor [...]

I finally get a chance to review my Newton Distance Lightweight Trainers. This is my go-to trainer and the shoe I’ve run in the most. In fact, I just ran the San Francisco Marathon in this shoe. It’s fantastic for forefoot runners, or those who are further along in the process of natural running.

I’ve been wearing newtons for about 6 months now (this is my second pair) and I rarely find myself running in my other shoe options. There [...]

I love Disneyland. Always have, always will. I have such a nostalgia for the park and all of it’s facets, that now that I live in Southern California, I haven’t gone a year without a Disneyland Annual pass. I probably attend the park 7-10 times a year on average. Yes, it has something to do with the crunch of the churros. Yes, it has something to do with Thunder Mountain Railroad. No, it has nothing [...]
