I will be traveling to Park City, UT for the next few weeks after a brief stint in Las Vegas (hopefully I will be able to get a run in with Josh Brimhall, a sic ultra runner in Vegas). The trip to Park City will be both work and play related. I am sharing a house with a couple good friends/industry reps and working the Louis Garneau booth at Dealer Camp.

The Saturday after Dealer Camp I am racing the Speedgoat50k, put on by Karl Meltzer( ya the guy that ran the Pony Express Trail last year!) I love a race that has a hand-drawn topo map--

I have been running consistently and recently purchased an EMS device that shocks your muscles for excellerated recovery and O2 flow to damaged muscles. Also I have been back and forth on my sock selection. Ya that's right, I am fretting over my sock selection. See I have been having some issues and discovered that the Injinji lightweight sock is the best with my foot in the Hoka Mafate shoe I am rockin. I am glad to have such an assortment of socks at my disposal like the Injinji Midweight, Original weight and lightweight. As an athlete, you should have an arsenal of socks at your disposal....well do you?

Great trail run getting ready for my 50 miler

Friday I ran from my house to the trailhead and beyond my usual stopping point. I came back and was like "huh, I still have some water and the music is still playing.." So I ran 6 extra miles totalling 13 miles. I felt great! I haven't ran 13mi for several years. I really attribute it to my CW-X Stabilyx 3/4 tights, Injinji Midweight socks and HOKA Mafate trail running shoes.

I used my Camelbak Octane LR to bring 70oz of water and great pocket to put my GU Roctane, ipod, Garmin 705 to keep track of mileage. Seriously, I have been putting in some miles but have been focusing more on the 300 miles of Vermont roads I am riding at the end of May, just before I go to Quebec.
