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  :-)

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/

Troy:  I've been doing the Incline since 1997.  I've never come close to what you are doing today.  Great job!!

Some of you may have seen this, but came across a cool documentary on the Incline.  Check it out here..
