5.26 miles today in my luna pacers. I. Love. Them. With. The. Traditional. Ribbon. Today I was able to run without my son so I ran down to the park and was enjoying flooded stuff when I saw a game trail going off through the brush to my left. I have seen this numerous times and have wanted to go run it but I always have my son with me (stroller) so I can't just go off exploring. I was wanting to test out my pacers with the traditional ribbon in some pretty muddy situations and had been running and slogging just off the paved path in every little muddy spot I saw, so this game trail was the perfect test. I took off and immediately ran through knee deep mud and was surprised to find that the sandals stayed on and didn't cause any problems what so ever. Shocked me. Love the traditional ribbon laces.
Shortly after that I had to hop over a couple of streams where both banks were very muddy and the pacers kept me steady without slippage. I busted through brush and got quite a few scrapes and scratches from a bunch of thorny bushes but I was having a blast. Did I mention it was really raining pretty good at this time? Man I was in heaven. After hitting a couple sections where the trail split off in y's I started to get a bit nervous that I would get lost in there so I turned around and headed back out the way I came. I stopped and took a few pictures and when I get them downloaded I will add them on here. It was just a minute after taking these pictures that I pulled a Mike and busted my butt in the mud. My arm went down up to the elbow in the mud as I tried to catch myself. No problem, I had my water bottle so just sprayed down my arm and took back off. Anyhow, I can now confidently say that I will be wearing my pacers with the traditional laces to the warrior dash later this year. They held up splendidly with the mud and I had no complaints. They held up very well in the flooded sections that I ran as well that was almost waist deep. Great run today. Got thinking about my buddy Sgt Ryan Green that passed on a few years back in Iraq. Thanks to all my brothers and sisters in arms that have served or are currently serving.
