Source: BGR Brooks Running has done what a lot of athletic companies aren’t doing. They have taken the time to dig into their market. Right now Brooks is one of the definitive running shoe companies. They have a lifestyle department, but the classic running shoes from the brand haven’t made a return like with ASICS…
Okay it’s been a minute since I posted on the site, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been running and working out. I just haven’t been posting. I’ve dropped about 5 pounds in the last 2 weeks. Which is great! The reason? The Spouse 5 Week Challenge. My wife recommended that we challenge each other…
The CG097II Storm Collection will launch on November 23rd, 2012. I’ve made subtle changes to the shoe since the summer release. Instead of using the Lightweight vented insole, I used a more cushioned insole at an increase in weight. The original CGII weighed in at 6 ounces which made it one of the lightest natural/free/minimal…
The Summer release is currently marked down to move before the Fall/Winter lightweight running CG097II Storm Collection is released in November. I’ve changed the mesh to a slightly heavier mesh than on the summer shoe and created a more monotone look. I also made the rubber on the outsole grey to give the shoe a…

It’s been a while since I updated the site with my workout, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been working out at all. A few weeks back I tweaked the same calf muscle that is always getting tweaked so I moved my workout into the house and went back to my classic Wii Training. You…
Okay it’s been a minute since I posted and I apologize. The last week and a half the family has been going to the YMCA. It’s summer and although we also bought a bike rack and bikes, we joined the Y to make sure everyone had access to a variety of potential workouts, especially the…
After the last week of Kinect Your Shape and Free weights, I decided today to take it back to the streets for a nice jog especially since the temperature hadn’t reached 85 in the morning for a change. Varying the workout to include weights is important. Your body has to build strength in order to…
I haven’t posted in a minute but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been getting it in. It was so hot in Memphis this past week that I just couldn’t get out and run so I hit the Wii and did boxing and all of the sports in the Wii Sports package. If you don’t think…
I’ve given you a look at the Fall 2012 Allen collection that will hit the site around September, but I haven’t told you what is coming up this summer. I was waiting to talk about it because I didn’t want to jinx the project and then I realized that you can’t jinx a company by…
I will be writing a ‘Get To Know” on the Roots’ undun on www.cbpublish.com in a few days. My wife recently bought me this album and while I don’t like downloads, I haven’t stopped playing it since she put it on my desktop. Running to Undun placed me into a trance as I did my…
I’m actually just kidding about the Brian McKnight thing, but for some reason I can’t stop laughing at the absurdity of Brian McKnight’s latest Youtube vid… especially since one of my friends from high school brought it up this morning. Dude is on one for real! On to today’s run: Let me show you how…
Wednesday morning!!!!!!Yesterday was officially my last college class as an instructor/professor. Very bittersweet moment overall. It was a great class, but it’s time to start a different phase of my life away from education after over 17 years. Sigh… enough of that. Today was more road work for the kid. I plotted a great map…
Monday morning!!!!!! I hope everyone had a great weekend and you are digging in for another week of work. I also hope you are still rolling on your own personal workout schedules and getting it in! Last week I finished the week with two days of virtual workouts on the Wii and on the Kinect….
Everyday you should do something that keeps the heart pumping. I hit the pavement again for today’s workout. While the weather may have changed at around 10pm the temperature is perfect for a nice jog. While most of you are probably working or in school at that time and you may find it hard to…
Actually I was supposed to post this on Friday. After playing some backyard soccer with my son and daughter, and basketball as the workout during the week, we took a family day to Shelby Farms in Memphis. They have an incredible park for the kids named the Woodland Discovery Park, which is surrounded by bike paths…
I was using Facebook Notes to do my updates for WWYWT? So today I decided to come back to the blog. For the past 2-3 weeks I was using the Wii for my workout. Don’t laugh… I dare you to do 10 matches on Wii boxing and 5 matches on Wii Tennis and then round…
Okay it’s been a couple of years and I’m right back to square one again, starting over. When I made the basketball shoe sample it drained the funds. I began selling more Nikes, Adidas and various brands to recoup. I was making great headway and was generating between 4-6K per month with ebay and street…
After the success of the Tori, I decided to get back to my roots in sports. Since I don’t play basketball as often as I use to, I decided that I would dive into training. My background as a NFHS certified coach and my camp coordinator experience led to the creation of the CG097 running…
