Expos can be so much of the same, I usually go for the gel stock up. And although I was not running this race I wanted to go to check out the Newton Running Company. I have heard the buzz on their running shoes (the science of motion) and with my foot issues, I decided I needed to try a pair on—research for the road (the long and winding one) to recovery. I saw a tweet from Pam Simich (marketing/creative: Newton Running Co pictured w/ Monica above) in the am about her Twitter contest. I am thinking the prize is a water bottle perhaps or a cool pair of socks…by the time I get there it will in the swag bag of another runner. Not so. By the time Jamie and I made it to their bright booth at @ noon no one had claimed the prize. We met Pam and asked to try on a pair of trainers…soon to find out they are the prize! I was so excited!! I can’t wait to try them. Renewed excitement to propel me forward (even though I am temporarily stopped by my injury) towards full motion again. The inertia of winning. So Newton.
Anyone out there run in the Newton Isaac Shoe?
I noticed Josh Cox was wearing a pair (on his nicely shaved legs) as he sat on the table during a Q&A session we happen to catch on our way out of the expo. As if it could get any better, Catherine Ndereba also joined the group. Listening to her talk about racing and training was fascinating. And because seeing a really good runner before a race is good luck (touching them is even better:) We had to wait in line to get an autograph on Jamie’s race bib and a picture…
