Holi-day Weekend

Well, there's no such thing in retail but we did revel in all the festivities this weekend to celebrate our independence had to offer. Friday was hopping with Spark your Heart packet pick up. Melanie and Teague both got to participate in the 5k on Sat. Spark your Heart might the perfect 4th of July community 5k. The highlight for me was getting to talk with so many from our Learn to Run group who we're completing another 5k (something they might not have though possible just a few months ago). The Pet parade continues to be hilarious and a tribute to civilization that you can bring that many people and animals together on a hot day with relative calm.

Sunday the 5th brought a first, Dave, Rob and I began our training for the Cascade Classic this year with a road ride on Sunday. Then off to a day fitting shoes at FootZone and the day ended with a baby shower for Jenny, Shane and baby Owen. All the FootZoners came together for an evening of merriment, horseshoes and good food. Nice to have a few non-work moments hanging out on a beautiful evening. Cheers-Teague

Spark Your Heart

Packet pick up will be at FootZone from 2-7 instead of 4-7 this Friday the 3rd. There is no day of race registration so Friday from 2-7 will also be your last chance to sign up. You can register until 6pm on Thursday at FootZone as well. Should be a big event again this year. There were more than 400 last year and looks like it will grow a bit. See you there-Teague

New Brooks Ravenna and Launch!

A couple new Brooks shoes are now in the fold at the FootZone and both are exciting in different ways. First is the new Brooks Launch. This is a fun, lightweight neutral shoe that will work for some as a trainer and others as a racing shoe. There seems to be plenty of cush and a smooth ride to complement a spectacular heel fit and comfortable upper. The Launch will grab attention first for its flashy looks but I expect this shoe to find a niche for the way it performs. The second shoe, the Ravenna, is one I've been anxiously anticipating ever since i saw the sample back in December. This is a stability/guidance shoe geared toward mild to moderate overpronation. There's plenty of cush but the platform is well grounded and balanced underfoot. The overall profile and smooth heel transition should make this shoe equally appealing to runners and walkers. Overall, the fit is very secure, grabbing the midfoot and heel pretty aggressively while opening up nicely in the forefoot. I'll be very surprised if this doesn't end up a winner for many active fz customers. Good to start the week with a busy Monday and some fun new shoes. Cheers-Teague
