summer is wrapping up in the suburbs, but there's still so much summer heat left. also, we unbox some apparel from Korsa and shoes from On and Adidas.

so much track action to discuss, and I taste the Strawberry protein shake that we unboxed last week

it's a heat wave in the midwest. that can only mean one thing. corn sweat.

plus, some unboxings

got some new shoes to unbox. One of them is still kind of under embargo I guess.

But there was also a live-reaction to new doping control news!

Trying to get over my aversion to racing by racing

I need to take a new approach to this heat. What I've been doing isn't working. also, I got a lot of shoes to unbox. I think none of them are under embargo

I think I'm developing a phobia of 5ks, so I tried to hop in a local 5k when I was at my in-laws in Iowa. It didn't quite work out.

also, apologies for the audio issues at the beginning. I fix it after a short while

got some new electrolyte produts to try. some are of the Eat Me variety. Others as Drink Me.

but by the end, I get pretty wired

You've seen those cooling headbands at the Olympics and in Triathlon. Omius gave me a set of the cooling headband things, and it was very different than what I was expecting - on a lot of levels.

I'm struggling with the heat. Also, some unboxings today from Mizuno and Reebok
