Running in the chilly weather of Oregon presents a unique set of challenges, where the cold becomes a formidable adversary for even the most dedicated runners. As temperatures drop, the biting winds and damp conditions characteristic of the region can make every step feel like a battle against the elements. The cold weather not only adds an extra layer of physical strain but also tests the mental resilience of those hitting the pavement or trails.…

For me, nutrition and fueling has always been a weakness in racing and training. I tended to never take any fluid or nutrition intake during my long runs and forget about hydrating during anything short distance. For my last marathon, I knew I had to introduce fuel during my training (otherwise there would be no way of completing the marathon in the time frame I wanted) and it really made me realize what I was…
It has been prime run-camping weather this summer. Some may argue that ANY time is perfect for that, but I am a fair-weather individual in this sphere. It’s really an experience to set up a tent camp, head out on any number of Oregon trails, then return back to camp and do it all over again the next day. There are a few necessary items when doing this – outside of running gear. Obviously a…

When the pandemic started, and the final decision was getting made to get a “COVID puppy“ my hope was to create a little running buddy. After two years with Winston, we knew something needed to be done as not only was he not a “running dog“, but even walks were becoming a challenge. We tried out the Flagline Harness from Ruffwear and our Golden Retriever really turned the corner on being pleasurable to be around…
There are a lot of tracking apps out there that runners use. Whether you want to track your miles or find new routes, there’s something waiting for you. There’s a place for it all. We have been trying out the Natural Atlas app, a true companion for adventure seekers who perhaps want to know a little bit more about the environment around them. It’s probably important to know off hand what the Natural Atlas provides…
It’s officially camping season! OK, for many of you out there – it is ALWAYS camping season. But for those fair weather overnighters like me, summer is when we get into high gear. One of my favorite things after a hike, camp set-up, and potentially even a short trail run (I mean, we do love running) is to sit around the fire to disconnect, chat, cook food, or read a book. A nice chair makes…
Whether or not we want to admit it, running is a dirty sport. And I don’t just mean during trail running in February or pounding the pavement in the middle of August. Obviously cardio produces sweat (news of the century there), but even outside of that sometimes our cleanliness is the little less than desirable. When we first came across the UnWipe, it seemed like an interesting product that could do a lot of good…
