"Natural" Running - Travel and Trail Footwear
Every shoe company is getting in on the natural running kick these days. And if you know of one that doesn't have a shoe that fits this category currently, you can probably bet they are working on one.
There was a very interesting article on this topic on The Art of Manliness this week that discusses how we as humans need to exercise to be healthy and that a long list of ailments was unknown to our ancestors who had to do physical work every day just to survive. They mention some of our anatomical features that suggest we were made to run and run fast for a long time. The book Born to Run
($10) goes into this deeper and is about a hidden tribe of Indians in Mexico who are said to be the best runners in the world. And judging by the reviews on Amazon it looks great and I'm ordering it.

High Points.Peaks.
Summits.
These words might trigger in your mind thoughts of week long excursions and altitude acclimation. But it doesn't have to involve all that. There are many high points in the US that involve far less planning and gear and you can take the whole family. And better yet, there are 50 of them! Why go for just a couple of the high points in the US when you can go for all 50?!
