The one where I almost managed to not screw it up For those of you following along at home, you may remember I had the great fortune to review a Milestone Pod back in July. You might also remember it didn’t last long, at least all in one piece, under my care. The good folks at Milestone Pod graciously sent me another one to test out and I’m happy to report I’ve managed to keep…

Marilyn: KT Tape sent me their KT Tape PRO in Epic Purple (looove) and Stealth Beige (kind of reminds me of a bandaid… but if bright colors aren’t your thing, it’s nice that they included a skin color option!). The 20 pre-cut strips are convenient (although you get slightly less product than a regular roll), and will set you back $20–about a buck a strip. Since a lot of tape jobs require about three pieces…
Run Oregon bloggers recently received some samples from PowerICE – Read on for our thoughts on each. Company: Staying hydrated begins before athletic activity begins and continues throughout the exercise. Importantly, hydration must also persist once you are done with your activity. The electrolytes in each PowerICE bar help the body replenish essential nutrients like sodium and potassium. And its frozen state means each PowerICE bar can actually lower your core body temperature, keeping you cool before, during…

Here are my favorite ways to get the best bang for your buck when it comes…
When we were reached out to about trying out an Ultimate Direction Ultra Vest, I made it very clear. “I am not an ultra runner. I have run one marathon in my life, and my loves of half marathons do not require me to carry gear with me. I would be willing to try this out, but just know that my experience may be limited to some long hikes instead of an all-day ultra trail run. Just…
