Montrail Wildwood TR

The Montrail Wildwood TR is a super fun, light, comfortable trail shoe. I have been for a couple of runs in this shoe now and I like it more and more each time I run in it. The cushioning is great, you can feel just enough of the trail beneath you to allow you to run fast without being out of control. My feet don’t get too hot in these shoes and they have more than enough cushion in them so that the bottoms of my feet are not sore or tired by the end of a run. Montrail has done a great job with this shoe, not as good as the Mountain Masochist but close. If you are in a store that sells Montrail I would definitely give these two shoes a go.

Jumpingpound Loop Trail Run

Wow… with 21 people coming out to run tonight it seemed a little overwhelming but with a trail like Jumpingpound it’s pretty straight forward so no one was lost. The weather was awesome the sun was out and so were the mosquitos and they were very hungry. The fast group ran the whole loop and the slower group turned around at about 30 minutes. Some of the usual suspects were out and we had a few new people out to the group as well. I was wearing my Montrail Mountain Masochist trail shoes and they were excellent.

Only one crash tonight our long time member Brit took a header down the trail and escaped with a few cuts, scraps and bruises. We hope she is okay and recovers quickly… I’m sure she will be stiff tomorrow. Sorry Brit.

Phil and I biked the trail before running it to make sure it was clear of trees and snow but the trail is in great condition.

Next week the trail run is cancelled on Tuesday night but it will resume June 16th see you there.

Montrail Mountain Masochist

The Mountain Masochist…there is a truely a reason why this shoe has won gear of the year award for 2009. I went for a run in Bowmount park and I have always been a fan of the Salomon XT Wings but I think now there is another shoe that I will trust for those long runs in the mountains although it dosen’t have the quick lace system. The fit of the Mountain Masochist is amazing with the nice breathable upper for those hot days. The Gryptonite sole gives great traction for any terrain you will find off road. This shoe would be great for anyone who wants a shoe that runs with you with great support and feels like a slipper.
