Running Gear

When I decided to sign up for the Plain 100 miler I entered some new territory. As much as I'm excited for the adventure that lies ahead, I realized that this was going to be different than any other run I've done to date. Usually most of the training runs and races I do all you need is a couple of water bottles and you're good to go. Well now I've got to figure out the best way to carry my own aid for this journey

So for Christmas Jolene and Mason got me the Camelbak Highwire 25. So far I love this pack comfy with lots of room. Then a couple weeks ago I'm complaining about my new headlamp not being to terrific and lo and behold Eric and Kellie Jensen give me a new headlamp that is pretty much the cat's meow! I've never met more generous people in my life. You guys are too nice,there should be more people in the world like you guys!

Now I'm collecting gear and wondering if it will be enough to get me to the finish line this September. That's when I came across maybe the most well thought out piece of gear ever. I think it's going to change the running world forever!



I've heard that you're supposed to visualize yourself succeeding at what you want to accomplish. All I can think of now is crossing the finish line at the Plain 100 with my Jog Strap flappin' in the wind. It's gonna be a dream come true!
