Anyone who knows me knows that I have a great affinity for technical headwear and a great affinity for the great state of Colorado. It should come as no surprise, then, that I’m a huge fan of BOCO Gear.
This year, I’m happy to serve as a BOCO Gear Ambassador. I’ve amassed quite a collection of their technical truckers and running caps over the years, after all, and every hat carries a few treasured memories.
Maybe it was my first season of dedicated strength training with Beyond Exercise, which led me to finally break both the 4-hour and 3:45 barriers in the full marathon.

My ever-growing arsenal of BOCO Gear running hats. Let the adventures continue …
