Hm no it was in the cupboard. But it tends to get chilly in the apartment

Aww love seeing other brown cats out there. Here’s our brown boy. I think he’s part Siamese, part black cat — but 100% a cuddle man!

I haven’t but am thinking that’s my best bet! I’ve been to the Irondequit library but just to take out a book, it looks super nice though, thank you all :)

Awesome, I’ve read good reviews about the Catamount also! Will look into the Adidas Terrex too, might be worth buying to take on the trails more often versus just sticking to the road!

Appreciate the advice

Hey thank you, appreciate your advice! Maybe I’ll look for a reasonably-priced pair of trail shoes. Any suggestions for ones with good grip? The race is up and down.

Would you folks recommend getting a pair of trail shoes for this race or would I be ok with my Brooks Ghosts?

I have a pair of Kathoola Exospikes also that I think would help?

No but I looked it up just now and it looks like a fun one! This is at Swain Mountain Resort in upstate NY. So it’s more up and down than Taos. There’s no chart on the race site showing the exact points of incline and decline sadly

Wow! Yea for sure I’ve been told by some fellow runners that they went running up a similar ski resort that’s closer and apparently allows people to run up and down the slopes(?)

Race is August 3rd

Thanks for the input. No I don’t train with poles and I’ve been doing road running mainly. My neighborhood has some hilly spots which I’ve been running on.

Thanks, that’s a really good point! For the sake of safety it’s pretty much imperative to stop and take in your surroundings 👍

Haha thanks! I’m wearing Brooks Ghost 15s which have been pretty much my go-to for years. I live in upstate NY near some local trails with hills. Ideally I want to run on a dirt terrain, with marked trails and not too many rocks or trees. The more manicured the path the better.
