I have run in a lot of great running shoes this year, but none have brought the smile to my face the way the 361 Flames did this morning. The last time I had this kind of smile was when Sam W. let me try out his Nike VaporFly 4% back in May 2018. You can read about it here if you like. The Flame … Continue reading 361 Degree Flame — First Run — September 3, 2021
After getting rid of my white Meraki v1’s because I wore through to the midsole in the front of the shoe, it is time to get the blue ones out of storage. Now I want to see if I wear through the toe-off area of the outsole on this pair of v1’s the same way as I did with the white ones. Also I do … Continue reading 361* Meraki v1 (Blue) First Run – RunLog 3/3/21
I have gotten tired of running on the local roads and needed an adventure of a sort. At the same time, I know that I need be careful with the temps and footing. Running the local hiking trails, even with ice grippers, is not my thing. Too many things can go wrong on those skinny single-track trails that I love so much, and many of … Continue reading Snowmobile Trail to Bartlett O/B 2/18/21
We were lucky and unlike so many places, didn’t lose power. Especially, those places that are not equipped, setup for, or used to having to deal with this nasty weather. I hope they get the power situation back online sooner and that life will get back to their normal. This weather certainly isn’t normal for those down South. Yesterday Yes, it was a snowblower workout … Continue reading It’s Better to Wait Until Later – RunLog 2/17/21
Okay…January 2021 has been a year in and of itself! Between an attempted insurrection, wondering if the inauguration would happen peacefully or otherwise, and another impeachment. Add in it being the height of a pandemic, then on a more personal note-another running related injury to my right foot. Nothing important happened in January 2021. Do you detect just a hint of sarcasm? You betcha! It … Continue reading January 2021 – A Year Unto Itself
I got to run today. It has been one of those weird days, where it snowed almost all day, but no real accumulation. Well, just enough to coat the road in places and be wet in others. The temp was right around thirty degrees, with just a bit of breeze out of the north. In other words, decent conditions for the end of January. Since … Continue reading Snow Makes for Beautiful Scenery-RunLog 1/28/21
I got to run today. We have been lucky and been in a stretch where the snow has stayed to the South of us, which means that the roads are in great shape for running. As I have said before, in this cold, you gotta deal with it or get on the elliptical-those are the choices. The climate app in Strava claims that it was … Continue reading Good Until The Hill – RunLog 1/26/21
Today was one of those snow flurry days. It snowed a little most of the day, without accumulating more than an inch. Enough to coat the ground and make things slippery. True to my word yesterday, I did my pre-run warm-up before heading out the door. Yes, I could tell it helped a little on the first mile. I know that I need to keep … Continue reading First Run 361 Santiago On a Good Day for Testing – RunLog 1/5/21
