I run at least 20 miles every week for the past 5 years on unpaved lake trails. I have tried many name brand running shoes including Nike, Adidas, Saucony, Asics, Hoka, etc. Brooks Adrenaline GTS and Ghost are my favorite due to their supreme balance in comfort, durability, fit, and weight. The only other brand comes close is Mizuno's wave inspire.
The other brands are probably performing better in different road conditions, but Brooks Adrenaline is my #1 choice for unrugged trial running.
I have used uniball vision rollers for many years, they are comfortable, smooth, and easy to write and underline on pretty much any kind of paper. Roller top is my favorite vs. “needle point” top which is not as smooth in my personal opinion.
