In almost every hiking-related post, I consistently mention that I am a fair-weather hiker. Seeing some of my fellow bloggers tackling hikes with breathtaking vistas and luxurious landscapes often leaves me feeling envious. Unlike them, my trail and hiking experiences are somewhat limited. However, I can confidently attest that having the right gear makes a significant difference in motivation and consistency when hitting the trails. For years, I struggled with subpar apparel, jackets, equipment, and…
Those of you who have been reading this blog for a while, know that I have a little bit of a “thing” for men’s underwear. In fact, there was a time where I was reviewing men’s underwear on a monthly (or even bi-weekly) basis for a bit.

That’s what makes immi Ramen so intriguing. They have concocted a ramen…

This weekend is the final race in the PRC Winter 5K Race Series and so we’re highlighting that route as this week’s Strava Segment of the Week. The PRC Winter 5k segment is a great segment to try out, even if you’re not running in this race series, because it can be run with minimal driveway crossings and only one street crossing over a very low-traffic street. This means it’s a nice 5k route to have…
