Posted on February 7, 2012 by Dave

I am a new runner and learning as I go through this adventure. I had no real “equipment”, other than some Asics shoes that I used when going to the gym in the past. As I’ve been progressing, I’ve identified different areas that I needed to acquire gear that would make my running easier and more enjoyable!

Hopefully I can help other tall runners, with what I learn along the way. To learn a little more about how I got to this point, check out the About Page!
