Running and Laughing through the Golden State
Running and Laughing through the Golden State
To be honest, I thought I had already been to the Boulevard Diner during all of my time in Baltimore. It turns out I have not. Even when I arrived, I thought I had been, but I was probably confusing it with the Broadway Diner.
Another week, another super shoe. The first thing the Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 2 wins is the shoe with the longest name. What a mouthful. Anyway, that has nothing to do with the shoe review.
What is the difference between the Asics Metaspeed Edge and Asics Metaspeed sky?
This question has been asked to me a few times now. Or people don’t even realize Asics has two different carbon-plated models.
Not only is the question a mouthful, but for two shoes that look nearly identical, it can be hard for me even to remember which model is which. It was just last year that Asics has an “ok” carbon plated shoe, but many people weren’t fans. Now Sara Hall is breaking records in the new models, and many people are like: what is even the difference between the Asics Metaspeed Edge and Asics Metaspeed sky? Does it matter? Can I get away with either?
I haven’t had Bombas socks for a while now. No reason why, but I’ve had many socks, and they haven’t needed to be replaced. Finally, my socks did, so I decided to revisit Bombas.
Bombas is a favorite of my mom, so you know if my mom likes them, they must be good.
The Allen Stone Run Swim Run is one of my favorite races. I didn’t travel back to Virginia just to do the race but the timing worked that I was around anyway. The Allen Stone Run Swim Run is a 1k run on the beach followed by a 1k swim back in the ocean and then a 5k run on the boardwalk. The Virginia Beach boardwalk is cement so it is fast although you also dodge tourists on the boardwalk.
Many people know, but I grew up a swimmer. I have since stopped *really competing* in swimming events. I’ll occasionally do an open water swim but really the only time in recent years is at the Allen Stone Run Swim Run.
