So I suppose the first thing to do with one of these is to provide some sort of mission statement, a proclamation regarding the intended subject matter of this here blog, unfortunately, I have a feeling that these things will eventually take on a life of their own, and despite my best intentions to keep within a single vein, I will likely be unable to write solely about one part of my life. This blog will, however, contain a substantial amount of material considering my recent running, training for ultra-marathons, barefoot/minimalist shoe philosophy, including reviews of shoes/clothing as I acquire and test out new things. I will also be cataloging my backpacking adventures, and interjecting with commentary on life as a music student. Expect pictures, ruminations, reviews, and maybe even a recipe or two!
