Comment by Jill Suarez on January 4, 2012 at 5:53am: If times drop that makes more room for all the newbs!

Comment by Michael Capshaw on January 3, 2012 at 9:38pm: i'm guessing that as work is done on the incline for improvements that some times will drop. I'm excited to see improvements.

Comment by Jill Suarez on January 3, 2012 at 8:07pm: The incline never seems to last long enough =) gotta say it's not about your time but the quality of the Experiance ..

Comment by Jeff Gallup on January 3, 2012 at 8:00pm: It is definitely a great place to reflect :-)

Comment by Nick Wilson on January 3, 2012 at 7:40pm: Came back to the springs for Christmas and gave the incline a run. Didnt bother timing it, just wanted to have fun and reflect on life

Comment by Jeff Gallup on November 22, 2011 at 8:22am: Finally, a new best time today. 45 min, which I know is slow, but 2 minutes faster than I've done it before.. Beautiful sunrise this AM :-)

Comment by Jeff Gallup on November 21, 2011 at 11:11am: Forgot to mention, they are a great local company out of Boulder CO

Comment by Jeff Gallup on November 21, 2011 at 11:10am: Jill.. they totally ROCK.. First minimalist type shoe I've tried.. as I was working towards barefoot, but I may just stay with these since they work so well, and eliminated all knee pain and back issues I had when I took up running. No way you can heel strike. Anyway, I have the 6MM Contacts.. which have performed great on the Barr Trail and Incline.. And they are on sale 25% off through next Monday... click through on the Invisible Shoe link on my blog if you don't mind.. thanks! http://barefootinclined.blogspot.com/
