"You Don't Choose The Bubble, The Bubble Chooses You."

Nothing like waking up in a rainy San Diego and flying to a sunny Seattle!

*Wait*

What?

Yes that happened.

Granted, everyone I spoke to once I got off the plane informed me to 'give it 10 minutes.'

Today I begin my adventure as the new Product & Gait Specialist for the 2015 Run Happy Island Tour with Brooks Running! I'm so excited! Today I flew from San Diego to Seattle for my training at Brooks HQ (starting tomorrow) before beginning the long drive to Jacksonville, FL where the tour REALLY begins!

Final cup of Pannikin from the Delta terminal in San Diego!

This is such an amazing opportunity and I can't explain how fortunate I feel. 

Brooks Running is an amazing company that is responsible for state-of-the-art running shoes and apparel (#1 run specialty brand in the world) but also sustainability programs in the greater-Seattle area and across the globe (http://www.brooksrunning.com/en_us/meet-brooks/running-responsibly).

Fremont Troll!  Ran there after settling into my hotel and laid down a 17:20 5k!

5 miles at a 5:54/pace  was FAST even for me!

Running changes lives.  It absorbs our daily doubts and hesitations while imparting positivity and health.  And when I introduce someone to running - usually through that first pair of shoes - I feel like I’m introducing them to something that will change their lives for the better.

As the new Product & Gait Specialist for the 2015 Run Happy Island Tour I'll be introducing people to an amazing brand, the greatest running shoes in the world, and also - possibly - to an entirely new healthier, more positive lifestyle - and that is an opportunity I couldn't possibly be more excited about.
