Well, here it is.  The official announcement that I am dropping Flatlandultra.com and moving everything here.  A One-Stop-Shop so to speak for my blog and the video podcast.  Should be easier for me to get stuff out and one place to go to see what I (sometimes “We” on the podcast) are up to.   Subscription links on the upper right

Cross Post – If you read this blog then you probably know I do a podcast over at http://flatlandultra.com.  I’m working to combine everything into this blog and starting by posting videos in both places until I can work out the kinks.  No fear if you subscribe to the podcast in Itunes, Zune or any other way those will continue to work.  We won’t change anything except for where the site is located at.  Eventually putting in the http://flatlandultra.com address will forward you to here, but not until all the content is moved and I feel comfortable that everything is working.  Thanks for bearing with us! Episode 12 is number 2 of a 3 part series covering some Green initiatives going on in the world or trail and ultrarunning.  Today we look at the ever popular Brooks Cascadia and how it’s midsole is able to break down 50 times faster (once it hits the landfill) than other running shoes.  We also give the shoe a once over.   Windows Media ITunes  Mp3 Show Notes: Shooting Location – Travis’s Home Office Brooks Green Room Brooks Cascadia 4 info

Episode 11 is the 1st of a 3 part series covering some Green initiatives that are going on in the world or trail and ultrarunning.  Today we looks at some active wear from a company called Atayne.  You know those plastic bottles that won’t ever find their way out of the landfill?  These guys go rummage around in the trash to find them, then make  sweet shirts out of that junk.
