Monthly media: Summits of My Life trailer

Many will recognize the name of Team Salomon athlete, Kilian Jornet, whose goal it has become to "run the length of the world's greatest mountain ranges, trying to climb and descend some of the most spectacular mountains in the world as quickly as possible" (http://www.summitsofmylife.com/en/philosophy). It would seem he's making a film coming out soon which looks very intriguing.

First run: Inov-8 Roclite 315 trail running shoes

Finally, I was able to afford a new pair of much-needed trail running shoes. I still love my La Sportiva Raptors, but I've squeezed and beat and nursed probably all the miles I'm going to get out of those things. Those shoes were awesome for me, and I'd recommend them to anyone who was considering them. Since I've been wearing the Raptors for so long, this post will be somewhat of a comparison between my experiences with my old shoes and my first run with my new (and awesome) Inov-8 Roclite 315s.

"I'm not dead!"

"Shut up; you're not fooling anyone!"


But seriously. I looked at the date of my last post, and it's almost been a month. Work's been busy and tiring, to say little. Bright side of it all is that I have a new pair of trail running shoes (Inov-8 Roclite 315) coming in the mail! I'm anticipating them arriving on Monday. If they're in on Monday I'll have to have some sort of special, solemn ceremony to retire my trusty old Sportiva Raptors and usher in the new age with a good run in the Gorge.

I'm about to fall asleep or dead pretty soon.
