As the seasons turn towards the darkest and coldest of them all, and the one we associate with “slowing down,” my inner-coach is revealing some vulnerability: “Will I slow down, too?”

You can imagine the turnout as Boulder Trail Runners, (host Buzz Burrell) had arranged to gather Scott Jurek, Tony Krupicka, Geoff Roes & Dave Mackey in an upstairs room at Sherpas in downtown Boulder for an informal Q&A session – to say the place was packed was an understatement!

I would like to think that time has increased my wisdom and understanding of how things work – not always the case though! Just recently, I reminded myself of how far I have come in terms of listening to my body.
Just ordered a set of icespikes for a close friend here in Jackson Hole. I used my icespikes all last winter preparing for the 2011 Boston Marathon. Most of our roads are snow packed all winter long.
The icespikes work fantastic on hard packed snow and even give a fair amount of grip on "glare ice". There are no issues on those bare patches of asphalt either, which surface throughout the winter and grow as spring approaches. In fact, the clicking on dry ground is rather pleasant. I have used Yak Tracks before but, in my opinion, they are not as effective, or convenient, as icespikes.
You have a great product and I am glad to hear that it is really catching on.
