Landon Faulkner Making Adventure in Cariloha Bamboo
By Landon Faulkner
This has been in the works for a few weeks, but it’s finally official: I’m sponsored by Cariloha! It feels like a huge step in my running and adventuring to have a company support what I am doing. That feels exciting to me! I’m grateful to Cariloha for their support and am stoked to be working with such a fantastic company.
What do they do and why Cariloha? Well, Cariloha is a bamboo clothing and apparel company that makes seriously awesome bamboo products. I first tried Cariloha socks a few months ago and was hooked. Their socks are ridiculously comfortable, breathable, wicking and soft. Cariloha has a performance line of clothing for men and women which is what I generally use for running, hiking and most of my adventuring.
I have been dying to share since things were finalized last week. Now that my Achilles Tendonitis appears to be healed up I am excited to get back to training with the Tamalpa Headlands 50k coming up in just one month now. This evening I’ll be throwing on my Cariloha gear and braving the heat wave we are currently having here in Northern California to log a few miles.
My training plan for the next four weeks has been skewed a bit by this injury, but I am looking to ease back into the mileage without re-injury. Staying healthy is the most important thing at the moment and the slow down in training will mean a slower finish time, but I’d rather be able to race than not race and still be injured.
So huge thanks for all of your positive vibes, I’m pretty sure they worked because just a couple of days after I wrote asking for your positive vibes the pain seemed to disappear. I’ve tried really hard to be patient as I worked on stretching and rehab last week without running even though I was feeling good. I am stoked to get out for a little run today. I’m crossing my fingers all goes well and pain free.
