Breaking in the new HOKA ONE ONE Carbon X 2’s from Ultra Running Company.

They feel great!! Needed a shoe for increasing my miles that didn’t feel like I was running on clouds. Perfect for what I was looking for!

Dude!! What is that and how do I sign-up?!? ...was my reaction to seeing a video Marcus Barton posted about an adventure race. He gave us the intro into SwimRun events. SwimRun NC was one of the most awesome races I've ever been a part of as a result. Now there's adventure racing! Looks like fun!!!!

Now I have a burning curiosity about adventure racing so I went to the source with some Q&A. Yes, an adventure race is absolutely in my future!

Check out the article. :-)

It's fun. That's what it is.

Has anyone here cycled the entire Blue Ridge Parkway? Something that really jumps out in this story is not just the awesome week long adventure itself but the father/son duo that did it.

In the spirit of inspiration... grab your son, daughter, spouse, friend, partner, etc. and do something epic. We call it making memories around here. ;-)

Thanks Jeff Gaura from Threshold Academy, Inc. for sharing this story with us and setting it up so others can join next time!

This is a tale (from our Blue Ridge Parkway Journey) of our practical response to the ancient adage, “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
