Why I'm [Not] a Slacker

Happy Leap Day!

A month ago today, I did ten miles out at Kates Plateau, taking pictures with the intention of a blog post soon to follow. Unfortunately, that post is still in the works (meaning I haven't started). Now, since I realize that there isn't really any following of this blog yet, I'm not super concerned that anyone out there cares that I haven't written. So really, it's completely up to intrinsic motivation to propel me to write. And I do want to write, it's just...SCHOOL...makes me tired. So, I haven't really written OR run recently.

Ah, but I haven't been completely idle! Au contraire!

Salomon sale on Leftlane Sports, and wishing I were able to take full advantage of this weather...

Get you some Salomon trail running shoes for good prices right now on Leftlane, while they last! Just thought I'd spread the word. Here's the link: http://www.leftlanesports.com/Event.aspx?l=00010024051000000000. Coincidentally, The Clymb also has the XA Pro 3D Ultra M on sale for about 50 bucks, after shipping. Usually, these types of things sell crazy fast (especially at The Clymb), so hurry up: http://www.theclymb.com/brand-event/14714/show-product/23581

Also, I do plan on putting up my next trail review sometime soon. Hopefully this weekend. It will be of my recent run a week ago at Kates Plateau, one of my favorite trails (I know, I know, it's a week late). Kates Plateau ate my phone, though. Hopefully, I've got a new one waiting for my in my post office box. *EDIT* No cigar: empty box.

I hope everyone out there has been enjoying this excellent running weather. I can't believe it's February right now. I can't believe I've been stuck inside most of the time doing homework.

Sheesh.

In other news, Blue Ridge Outdoors recently posted a video of Appalachian trail runner Dan Lehmann discussing his love for what he does: http://www.blueridgeoutdoors.com/photos-and-video/bro-tv/bro-tv-dan-lehman-on-trail-running/. One of these days, I hope I'm cool like him, running ultras at Spruce Knob and sportin' a sweet white beard.

Let me see if I can get this infernal Blogger editor to agree with Vimeo's embed code...



Ah, that's it. Not as bad as I expected.

Alright, peace out, all you beardly trail runners who are in more shape than I am.
