For the last ten years or so, the way I like to start off January 1st is with a morning run. Today was no exception, and I took advantage of perfect conditions — crisp air, blue sky, and not a breath of wind — for a lovely 10k to begin the 2011 training schedule. This year, I plan to do my sixth and seventh triathlons, and I’m hoping that one of them will be an off-road one (lake swim, mountain bike, and trail run). For that race, I’d love to try these Single-Track shoes from The North Face. They look great and I’ve heard solid things about them from other trail runners.
