A year ago I started a list of my favorite things about running.  These are things, to quote the ubiquitous 90s rapper Skee-lo, that make you sit back and say, “ahhh yes, ain’t that fresh?”.  It could be a piece of gear or an experience or whatever tickles my fancy.

So far the list has included my Brooks Run Lite Jacket, Frost Beards, WindBriefs, Watermelon, Sweaty Sweat, Not Log Bragging, and Snickers among other things.

This month’s OUTSIDE MAGAZINE released their “This Is Good List”.  Which always inspires me and get me psyched up for some reason.  I hope to continue my list this year.  If you have any submissions, email me with a two sentence description and why it is awesome. Also, if you have a more clever title than “Favorite Thing” let me know as well.  bwandzilak@gmail.com

Today’s entry:  The Foam Roller.  So simple.  So painful.
