Down Time

I've been enjoying a really relaxing week post Bandera. It feels weird not to have a next race so close that I feel like I need to get back at it as soon as I'm recovered. I feel entirely recovered from my little 50k outing on Saturday, but instead of getting out running right away I'm just hanging out, catching up on some work, changing the look of this website, doing a little skiing, and taking the little one out sledding (when I can actually get her out the door).

My running camp scheduled for June is just about full so I am moving forward with plans for another session later in the summer. I will be announcing the dates of this second session by early next week. Keep an eye on my camp website if you're interested in that.

Also, over the next few weeks I'm hoping to do several posts about some of the products that I prefer to use in my running. Most of these will be companies I am sponsored by and/or receive free or discounted products from. However, this will not just be me plugging my sponsors. I believe strongly in all of the products that I will mention. For each of these products there are several competing products which I've tried that have not been satisfactory to me for one reason or another. Lucky for me I've been able to secure partnerships with most of the companies who make my favorite products for trail running. If I don't care for a product I won't endorse them. I suppose if someone offered me enough money to endorse a product I didn't believe in I might be tempted, but this is ultrarunning we're talking about, nobody is throwing enough money my way to make me even tempted to endorse any product/company that I don't fully trust and believe in. So keep an eye open for some product reviews and recommendations over the next couple weeks... if you're interested in that kind of thing.
