We’ve all been there . . . chafing, blisters, and general discomfort from rubbing seams or skin on the run. I always keep some anti-chafing products around, so I was curious to try bluerub. I was excited to see it was a plant-based product without mineral oil, parabens, silicone, phthalates, or petroleum products as my skin often becomes irritated by some of those ingredients. And, while this is a Colorado based company, the manufacturing is…
This is me: Run 25-30 miles a week, take barre class, ride to work a few days a week … at least when the weather is nice. A calf pull in December and pure laziness kept me inside much of January and part of February, but here we are again with some sunny days and I just have to jump back in like I didn’t just have six consecutive weeks of less than 15 miles.…
I recently started a new part-time position at a chiropractic office as a stretch therapist. What that means, quite simply, is that I stretch people. I ask every one of my clients if they ever stretch at home, and 85% of them say they don’t. If they did, there are so many aches, pains, and injuries that they could avoid. Bodypeace is an app that can help people like my clients. It’s not “just another…
When I meet someone that lives or works even somewhat close to Sexton Mountain Elementary, I always tell them about two things: The Sunstone Running Club that meets every Tu/Th at the school for a 4-mile-ish run at 6:30p. T’s Garage, where I’ve been going for more than 2 years for barre class and the occasional TRX workout, circuit training session, or core class. I’ve written about Sunstone Running Club here before, and it’s a…
Distance-runner coffee lovers rejoice … On January 6, 2020, you’ll be able to try the latest flavor from Tailwind Rebuild Recovery — Coffee! We realized that this sample needed to be thoroughly tested by someone who could do justice to the awesomeness of this product, so I asked my very good friend Marya Van Metre, who recently completed the Javelina 100 and has been a Tailwind devotee for years. Marya has reviewed things for the…
A lot of runners out there run to become, or stay, healthy. Shoot, I tell myself that I need to run to counteract the amount of craft beer I want to sample. But on the flip side, it’s also imperative to become, or stay, healthy in order to run. For runners, missing out on a few miles due to illness or a body imbalance is equivalent to getting punched in the face. For those of…

Daddy Burt Hemp Co has family ties to hemp farming since the 1800s, and now makes a variety of CBD products, ranging from oils to edibles to topical creams. This Kentucky based company prides itself on producing high quality products and is certified by U.S. Hemp Authority. I recently tested the THC Free CBD Oil with peppermint flavor and found it to be an effective no-frills way to relax. Daddy Burt’s THC Free CBD Oil is clear and…
At Run Oregon, I get to test out a lot of products. It’s rare that I go to the website and order from the company I’ve tested something from right away, but that’s exactly what I did after I tried the Drinkfinity Electrolyte Pods. As someone who often struggles to drink enough water and enjoys a little “kick” from something with flavor in it to help motivate me to keep sipping away, I prefer to…
I’m a man, therefore I stink. As a result, I am constantly on the prowl for the latest and greatest hygiene products out there that provide me the ability to not seem as gross as my body seems to like to give off. We recently came across West Skincare, a brand-spanking new company that makes men’s skincare items right here in the USA. They also provide natural ingredients that you don’t necessarily see in many…
