AM - 10 miles along the Charles River. Went earlier than the main group because I'm flying back to SLC this morning.

PM - 4 miles.

As I mentioned yesterday, I'm going to be assisting Saucony with their field testing of new products - primarily footwear in the short term, but also apparent at some point in the future as well. That doesn't necessarily mean "free shoes for FRB" but there are going to be some great opportunities. I have assured Saucony that we can build a strong testing program in Utah, and I truly believe that. We have a ton of dedicated, passionate, smart runners in the area - and Saucony really values that feedback as they develop new products. You'll have the opportunity to have a real voice in the process, as I'll be a direct liaison to their performance lab engineers, designers, and developers. Step 1 is to start building my database of runners who are interested in participating on some level.

Very exciting stuff Jake. I am definitely interested in participating. Do you want any specifics sent to the e-mail besides our name and the fact that we're interested?

sounds cool, you'll need some hobby joggers though. do you have to live in Utah?

I think some of the early testing I'll be involved in will be primarily Utah and at some other key market specialty running stores in the west, BUT there is a nation-wide wear testing program as well and I could potentially get your name in the queue.

Ugh clearly Andrea was using my laptop when I was gone :-)

That was me.

Rachelle - just get your email to that address and I'll be putting together a master list and sending out a form to fill out w/in the next 2 days.

sounds good, I'm still running with some kinvara 1's (700 miles is barely broke in, right?)

Then sign up! :-)

I filled out your application. They rejected me last time, because my foot was not size 10.
