Nike Air Shasta 865065 001

Nike Air Shasta 865065 001. I didn’t buy these shoes to run on, in fact I have had these for 10 years and ran on them for the first (and last) time today. Did a 10k Trail Run in these because of the profile on the sole. I was sliding all over the muddy trail on my previous run and these were actually a lot better as far as grip goes. Unfortunately these lack the heel and ankle support I need and the low laces prevent the shoe from having a snug fit. They are old and it was worth the try.

Philips ActionFit SHQ4000/28 Neckband Headphones

Love these Philips ActionFit SHQ4000/28 Neckband Headphones. Have been running with them for about a month and they work great with my iPhone 4S. Nice sound and a great fit even during bouncy trail runs. As the reviews I read suggested you absolutely have to use the provided clip to attach the wire to your clothes to prevent excessive noise from the wire bouncing around.

Agloves Original Touchscreen Gloves

Love these really affordable (< $20) Agloves “Original Touchscreen Gloves”. Since I use my iPhone with Runkeeper and occasionally switch between the stats and route screens these gloves are a really nice affordable solution at least for New York area weather. When the temperature hits the teens (F) I do wear some no brand woolen fingerless gloves ($3) over these on long runs.
