SMM MUSIC, TIPS & TALES

A couple years ago I joined the Six Minute Mile team as a contributing deejay, if you will.  Every week I add new song to an ongoing playlist specially curated for the SMM audience.  Since then I have gotten a bit more involved with the newsletter.  It started with my quest to find the perfect pair of Bluetooth headphones for running.  I began testing various models and provided my thoughts and feedback on each pair after having used them for a few weeks of training.  You can check out all my reviews for those here.  If you click that link you'll also see that I have expanded my testing platform to include other products such as shoes and sports bras.  Not surprisingly, the more I got involved the more I wanted to....well, get involved.  Turns out, there are songs to share, products to review and stories to tell and I'm down for all of it.  Which leads me to this post.  Below you'll see some of my latest stories and reviews post to the SMM website.  Given that many of you are runners and/or active people, I'm guessing that a lot of these pieces will be worth your time.  Especially those of you who fall in my specific category of masters runners (40+) with wider feet.  Why am I telling you this?  Well, to be honest the RWM blog has taken a bit of a backseat to SMM for the past couple months.  And while I will continue to post race reviews, Runners Who Rock profiles and other random bits and pieces here on RWM, the majority of my brain power is going to be siphoned toward this new SMM outlet.  And because there is definitely crossover between the SMM and the RWM audience I feel it's important to share both with you.  Because sharing is caring.  And knowledge is power.  Or something like that.  In the future, perhaps these two sites will merge in some way, but for the time being, why not enjoy botH?  I will keep updating this specific page with links for new reviews and stories as they are posted over on SMM.  Then this fall I will be running the Hartford Marathon (my first as 50 year old) as well as New York City (as a guide), so those race reviews will be the next pieces here on RWM.  As always, thanks for following along in whatever way that you do.
