Misfit Shine Review

Steve AnkneyLeave a Comment

Simple, stylish, versatile, and unique are not adjectives that we normally use to describe an activity tracker, but Misfit is attempting to change that. The Misfit Shine Activity Tracker and Sleep Monitor has managed to become my favorite tracker, not just because of the fashion aspect or the versatility, but because the battery, tracking options, and the waterproof hardware give it … Read More

Topo ST Review

Steve AnkneyLeave a Comment

Today I will be reviewing a pair of shoes that has been on my list to review for much longer than I ever intended–especially given how great they are. (We have a very busy few months, hence our absence from the site.)  In fact, my Topo ST’s have more miles on them than any other pair of shoes prior to … Read More

The Day After the Marathon

Steve Ankney4 Comments

We did it!  Meagan and I both completed our first marathons this past Sunday, and since then, we’ve been trying to heal up by staying off our feet, rolling out the sore spots with a foam roller and The Stick, and wearing our recovery socks as much as possible.  For anyone who has completed a marathon (or other particularly difficult … Read More

Steve Ankney8 Comments

About two years ago, this site was launched with little intention of having anyone outside of our family and close friends read it.  Little did we know that our little site would manage to pick up so much steam, giving us the ability to review products from so many different amazing companies.  Aside from our own growth, we’ve been able … Read More

Color Me Pleasantly Surprised

Steve AnkneyLeave a Comment

If you would have asked me just 2 years ago what the “fad” in foot races was going to be in 2013, I never would have guessed that Color/Zombie/Electric/Pumpkin/Santa Clause/Naked/Turkey/*fill in the blank* runs would be the answer.  That said, when Meagan and I first saw the “The Color Run 5k”, we went berserk.  The idea of running through paint … Read More
