CW-X Stabilyx Product Review

If I were not a fan of hydration belts, wearing short shorts and tights were the last thing I would wear when running.  First and foremost, wearing them is challenging.  I even started running wearing jogging pants since I am a very conservative person and shy to show off...

Newton Gravity Trainers: In for Review

Just got my Newton Gravity Trainers last Friday.  This was my raffle prize from the Runnr Grand Opening last July 10.  I still have to test them and provide my review.  Although I believe you have read a few of them already, so I just might talk how these...

First Time at Second Wind: A Review

We have been invited by Hector to their shop since its opening day last March.  But it was only last Sunday that Quennie and I were able to visit the Second Wind Running Store. Getting to the shop was far from our place but it was pretty easy.  We...

Product Review: Nathan Elite 2V Hydration Pak

After having two sports eyewear, there were two things I learned to look for in choosing an eyewear for running.  One is the fit.  It must fit well on the face and will not fall off while running.  And two, it must not have any fogging while running so...

Shoe Review: Mizuno Wave Ronin 2

Having used a lightweight trainer, I experience how the weight of the shoe affects the speed of the runner.  That is why, I was looking for another lightweight shoe to train for my goals this year. Just recently, I saw new models from Mizuno and this time, they have...

Jelly Belly SportBeans on the Run

A few weeks ago Candy Corner contacted me to try the SportBeans.  It will be my first to use a sports candy.  I never tried those energy bars or gels.  I would just rely on sports drinks and chocolate bars while running.  So using the SportBeans on my run...
