Winter is not my cup of tea. I prefer to keep outdoor workouts short, or run with my favorite running club on cold, crisp winter mornings . There is nothing I love more than warm, sunny spring days when I can shed the layers and get out for a workout! But sometimes, I’ll find that my gear is not in the greatest shape as when I left it last season….

Well, that wasn’t so bad after all. I received a pair of Black Diamond Distance Carbon Z trekking poles from the sweets for Christmas, but I haven’t had a chance to take them for a whirl until now.

I’ve been an Apple iPad user since the 1st generation iPad was released back in 2010. I love this thing. I use it every day from reading news, playing games, photo and video editing, and writing. It’s pretty much with me everywhere I go. Needless to say, I was pretty excited when the most recent version was announced back in late October. I picked up the new 11-inch iPad Pro…

I’ve always been a big proponent of carrying a phone along on a run mostly for safety reasons, especially when I’m out on the trail by myself. Sometimes I’ll use it for music, navigating a new route, and for emergencies. I usually carry my phone in a waist pack.
