A few weeks ago, Soleus watches, www.twitter.com/soleuswatches, requested to follow me on Twitter. I had not heard of Soleus until then and checked out their web page. Now let’s get this out of the way: I am a watch freak. Ask my wife; I am rife with watches of all kinds. Can’t get enough. Of…

A couple of months ago I was contacted by RxSorbo Insoles to try out two pair of their sport and work insoles. They sent me two free pair of the insoles and I promised them a fair review on the blog. Sorbo insoles are made from Sorbothane. Rather than me trying to struggle to explain…

Back in Late November I contacted the good folks at Zensah to request a free pair of compression leg sleeves for a product review. Much to my surprise and delight, they responded quickly and sent pair of sleeves right away. I wasn’t able to test them right away, because I was sated to run a…

As a running nut, I am fascinated with running gear. Running sleeves, at least in my mind, are a recent arrival on the non-elite running scene.

On my 19 miler last Sunday, I had to reach into the pouch of my Camelbak for a gel. Little did I know at the time that the strap had yanked one of the buttons off my Polar RS 200. It still worked, but the button was gone and it looked bad. I emailed them…

First activity this morning with my new Brooks Beasts. I like them. They are really a departure from my worn out Brooks. I guess you don’t really notice how bad the old shoes were until you add some new ones. Wahoo said that in the comments of my last post and he’s exactly right. I…

I was in “Ross-Dress for Less” a few weeks back and found a nice pair of New Balance running shorts for very cheap. They are made of the new “lightning dry” material and are very light. They feature a “phantom waistband” that is designed not to chafe or blister over long runs. I liked them…
