Re: Convince me to get a Garmin

I agree... you don't NEED one, but it's a nice tool to have when you are training for an event and want to make sure you follow a certain speed or distance in a workout... But I also find that you can easily become a slave to these devices and I run more and more without my Garmin. I don't train for...

Re: Wolf Trail Run - Sun March 20 AM

I can't join you because of a small nagging heel injury, but can you please take a few pictures of the trail's condition? I'm curious to see what it looks like as of this week... I hope to start hitting the trails very soon!

The Montrail Mountain Masochist is by far my favorite shoe.

Have you tried the Masochist? Just curious as I never tried other Montrail shoes, but the Masochist certainly don't feel heavy to me...

Re: Commuter vs Road Bike?

I commuted with my road bike all summer last year and decided to use a commuter this year. First reason is comfort. My road bike has an aggressive geometry and with tires inflated to over 100psi, it can get uncomfortable when you have to stop at red lights, go around potholes and endure all the crac...
