    Finished the 46 High Peaks of the Adirondacks

    Great trip report and pics! I really like the design of your camera harness; looks like it has quick deployment and stowing while still being completely bombproof. I have the Peak Designs one that clamps onto the backpack strap which is adequate for skating with my crop-frame DSLR, but I can see...

    Recommendations for shorts that feel like you arent wearing any...

    In general, if something says "base layer" then they expect you to wear something over it. For the ones that aren't specified, you kind of have to judge first by the 'thinness' of the material. And then if the company's logo is splashed all over it (e.g. 2XU), it's probably meant to be worn on...

    Recommendations for shorts that feel like you arent wearing any...

    I have a pair of 3" Asics split shorts that are a close approximation. You can see them in my profile thumbnail on the left there. No movement restriction at all on the legs. They have a liner so you're not flashing everyone when you sit down. For the record, I also run in just compression...

    Glasses and running

    I have always run with my glasses on. I have a lightweight pair of Oakley metal frames (with the straight earpieces) that I use every day for work and driving, etc. that I use on night runs and cloudy days. I also have a pair of Oakley sunglasses with prescription lenses that I use for sunny...

    Tough break with the sandal post there. Way to stick it out to the end. Good luck with the marathon!

    Skinners 'Sock Shoes' Aim To Become Essential Gym Footwear

    Water shoes have a more 'structured' and rigid sole (I'm thinking of my Sockwas and Speedos). Skinners are more like medium-weight socks coated on the bottom with a layer of rubberized bits (like the surface of a running track), and are much more flexible. The sole really just provides wear...

    Skinners 'Sock Shoes' Aim To Become Essential Gym Footwear

    I have a pair of these from the Kickstarter. We have gym in the corporate HQ and a running trail on campus. So, I change into my exercise gear and walk out of the building in these so as not to offend those delicate corporate sensibilities while I'm crossing through the atrium past the suits to...

    Des Plaines River Trail Races 50 Mile; 2016

    Great race report! I love the constant analysis of how to work around the different limitations. I'm inspired to go find some rougher pavement to incorporate into my training since surface condition is always my biggest anxiety when signing up for races.

    Need help from fellow Luna Sandal Wearers

    Usually, the pressure of the toe post against the inside web of your big toe would be keeping your forefoot from going sideways. Is the post further 'out' on your toe where there's more lateral movement? If that's the case, if you adjust the lacing so that your foot is further 'forward' on the...

    Star Wars Dark Side Half-Marathon at Disney World

    I was quite a bit slower than my PR pace because of all the stopping for photos and putting shoes on, etc. Net time 2:02:54. You can see the (mostly positive, haha) mile splits in the GPS trace.
