The Running Bran

Trails were nice as trees blocked the wind. New Brooks Pure Grit 2′s aren’t the best in an inch of powder I discovered. A little like running in sand. Comfy at least tho!

Finally, a pic of my brother’s dog Maggie, who looks so sad rocking the collar after getting spayed

Finished the first run in the Brooks Pure Grit 2′s and it was pretty awesome! Ran in the dark on some icy/muddy/snowy terrain and they held up pretty good

And here’s a random pic of my wife with my brother’s crazy dog

Also testing the WordPress app on my phone to post from

Saw a refurbished Garmin Forerunner 405 on Woot.com a little while back and had to grab one as a backup to my old school 205

And here’s a few pics from the weekend just for the heck of it. A little sleigh riding at my parents place and a walk in the nice weather with my wife and the pups.

Just finished up with the first run in the new Pure Drifts! Pretty nice, although the heel is a little lower than I’m used to at the moment and the calves could be a little sore tomorrow

Just got my last two Christmas gifts…the new Pure Grit 2 and Pure Drifts from Brooks!

About to start the 2012 Lil’ Rhody Runaround in Rhode Island. Pretty cool to see everyone in their hunter-proof orange!

Rounding the final turn to the finish shoot!

About to start the 2012 Tarzan Brown Run 5.5-miler in Mystic, CT!

My cousin and I about to start our first 50K, Bimbler’s Bluff 50K in Guilford, CT. Great race!

And me finishing up some training run (I assume for this race!)
