Recently I got a few new fun things that I thought were worth sharing with Run Oregon readers. The first, a no-leak water bottle from ion8, is clearly running-related … you run, you sweat, you need to drink more water. The second item (okay, items), from Pomchies, aren’t super running related but are pretty cool for anyone who is always on the go. ion8 Ultimate Water Bottles (buy it online for $21.99) or you could…
As someone who is constantly running when I’m on the go, I have come to appreciate the significance that a clean body can have on motivation. When I am travelling, my runs are generally interspersed in the middle of long car rides, or I am exploring new areas that aren’t close to where I will be staying for the night. What that usually means is a smelly, sweaty, and unhygienic drive that essentially leaves me…
There is no doubt that the past few weeks of Oregon weather has been a little crazy. I, for one, can vouch for the beating that my skin has taken as a result of the sub-freezing temperatures and arctic winds. We have reviewed Chamois Butt’r in the past, but had been holding on to some of their products until the time called for it. That time is now. Their Embrocation is designed to warm up muscles…
I’ve posted on here before how I much I love Zim’s Freeze Spray, which I use frequently on my neck and occasionally on my feet; and now Zim’s has a new way to get that same pain relief: Max-Freeze Patches. Available in three sizes, I went with the Large (they also have Medium and X-Large). The Large size is recommended for knees and elbows; I used it on my neck and upper back. (The Medium…

Ladies, if you are looking for something unique to fill up a stocking with, look no further than Oars + Alps skincare items for men. This line is made with all natural ingredients and without all the extra “stuff” that is sometimes added to hygiene products. So who exactly is Oars + Alps?
Run Oregon sometimes receives products to review. In this post, Run Oregon’s Matt Rasmussen provides some initial impressions on men’s products from Bulldog Skincare. The idea for Bulldog was born in 2005 when founder, Simon Duffy, noticed that there were no straightforward skincare options for men who wanted products packed with natural ingredients. After two years of painstaking product research, design and development, Bulldog made its debut on the shelves of a leading British retailer. The award-winning…
Run Oregon sometimes receives products to review. In this post, Run Oregon’s Matt Rasmussen provides some initial impressions on men’s products from Brickell Men’s Products. After doing research on popular skin care, shaving and grooming products, we discovered they were mostly filled with toxic, synthetic chemicals. We knew with today’s technology, that all natural and organic skincare products could be more powerful than these synthetic products. We were interested in using the best, most advanced men’s skin care &…
Run Oregon sometimes receives products to review. In this post, Matt Rasmussen provides some thoughts on some bar soaps. Please note that these products are NOT for men only, though Matt was the only blogger to test these out. Company: A Wild Soap Bar We handcraft our soap using the slow cold process method, which means no external heat is used so the goodness of the natural ingredients are preserved for you as much as possible. Each bar…
Company: Sneaker Balls Price: $4.99 – Amazon Impressions: As someone who runs at lunchtime, I am constantly lugging running clothes to and from work in my gym bag. There is really nothing worse than a bag full of sweaty gear and the havoc that it can wreak on bags. Combine that with running shoes, and stuff can get less than pleasant. Sneaker Balls are small little deoderizers that easily fit into my bag (instead of a spray) and…
