We should all use rollers a bit more, right? I mean, I know I should be loosening up my calves and hamstrings, but I just don’t do it enough. Some of reasons behind lacking in this department is due to being busy, but another significant reason is convenience. There are a bunch of rollers out there, big and small, but I feel I am always lugging around running gear and tools, and it doesn’t always…
If you look in the trunk of my car right now, you will see a lot of things. As someone who tries to be prepared for the situations where I just grab the kids and go on an adventure, my car is always stocked with items, as well as other functional outdoor gear like blankets, towels, hammock and straps, tarp, and shelter/tent. While this has generally worked for me, I do admit that it can…
If I could live in hoodies, I probably would. There is just something comforting about the hooded top – something that (at least for me) harkens back to middle and high school – when this was my apparel of choice. While we sometimes wore hoodies for batting practice and early Spring warming up in the dugout, we knew quickly that as soon the precipitation fell, our hoodies were toast – soaked to the core and…
After having the chance to try out both 3/4 length and full length custom fit insoles from Wiivv Wearables, and being very impressed with both products, I’m excited about the upcoming release of Wiivv Custom Fit Sandals. I have to admit I’ve never really been a sandal person (is that grounds for revoking my native Portlander card?), but if I could own just one pair of sandals, Wiivv custom fit sandals are the ones I’d…
If there is one thing that every Oregonian needs, it is a nice mid-size bag. I feel that the majority of us take in some excursions, both urban and rural, and are in need of a bag to pack running gear, extra clothes, healthy snacks, water, and miscellaneous items (like baby paraphernalia in my case). Be Outfitters has already surpassed their asking amount for their Tahquitz Pack and Cabrillo Dry Bag, and man does it look…
I have done one duathlon and one triathlon in my life so far. I am far from the world’s most knowledgeable on cycling in general, but I have historically found it hard to make a full leap into cycling, at least partly because of the cost. In addition to the obvious costs, like an actual bike, getting geared up for cycling seems like it’s own financial investment – and I already have a financial stake…
It’s pretty common to see runners hand-in-hand with their rollers. It seems that there are so many on the p market righ now, from skinny rolling ones to larger foam ones with grooves, ridges, and bumps. Many runners swear by them and, though I still don’t use mine as religiously as I should, I do have one and when I think about it, it does a pretty darn good job. Moji is no stranger to…
