Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review find and write race reviews!" The attention to detail on the UA HOVR shoes is indescribable as these lightweight shoes sure take comfort to another level. I specifically love the holes (aka vents) on the shoe that can help with sweaty, nasty feet.

In all of the years that I've lived in Florida, I have never been to Fort Lauderdale, but I am aware of the A1A highway and all of its appeal. This race drew me in with the promise of an oceanside run, though I was completely nervous about the heat as I was told there was no cover. Thankfully, the weather gods were in my … [Read more...]
