La Sportiva!

http://www.pitchengine.com/free-release.php?id=44312

Ran in the Crosslites at Ghost Town and they were sweet. I am looking forward to gaining a couple minutes this year running in the Speedgoat's shoes:)

My other key sponsors this year will continue to be Patagonia, Succeed! and DryMax.

310 miles for January! Onward!

I was looking on your blog for a place to send an email to you. I have some training questions I would like to ask you if you don't mind. corybirdsong@googlemail.com

Great blog BTW!

Awesome! Love those shoes! I bet you can't get 1200 miles on a pair of Wildcats like I've done...

AJW said...

Brownie,

No doubt, I can't get 1200 miles on any pair of shoes. But, then again, I am not as skinny as you:)

Good times in Durango this past weekend?

Andy, you big slut, is there anyone you HAVEN'T been sponsored by?

AJW said...

Nike?

Congrats on the sponsorship! Just did my first run in my second pair o' Crosslites on Sunday. Only 1,979 miles to go.

Yep, I majored in journalism, not math. Make that 1,179 miles.

Good to have another Idahoan officially on board with Sportiva, welcome to the team!

Congrats, Andy....

I have about 500 miles onosme Wildcats and 750 on a pair of Fireblades. They are great shoes.

I am planning on running (training and racing) this year in the Skylites, which are their lightest.

Best of luck in your racing,
Steve P.

Well done! I wish I could nab some sponsorship. I'd even take Nike ...

I once ran 200 miles in a pair of running shoes.

LK said...

Geez Andy! You must have a spreadsheet just so you can figure out which sponsor shirt to run in during the race and which one to change in afterwards for photo ops. ;)

Congrats! Sportiva has bomber shoes. I run in Wildcats and Fireblades and they're the only ones out there for me that can hold up to the Austin rockpiles. Gotta get me some Crosslites!

Hey AJW,

Why don't you and the rest of the Patagonia team run in Patagonia trail shoes? Or the socks? Were they not developed in conjunction with their trail running "ambassadors"?
Could it be that Patagonia isn't as great as they think they are?

I need to try crosslites, I love the fireblades! La Sportiva makes great trail shoes.
