RunnerDude's Blog &bull 56 Minutes Ago
Garmin has reigned king over the GPS running watch market for years. Not so much because they're the best, but rather they've been the only thing available.

Great job, you have all the right gear,… Full Story »

ICY-8 Adventure Trail Run
Run Bulldog Run &bull Feb 6, 2012
Just wanted to take a few moments to jot down some thoughts on yesterday's ICY-8 Adventure Trail Race - another great event put on by the Athletic Equation guys.

The race was unique in that you could either choose to run a short loop (4.7 miles with about 350ft of elevation gain/loss), or the longer 8 mile loop with about 640ft elevation gain/loss. The first loop had to be run clockwise, but after that you were free to choose any direction and either… Full Story »
