Today was AMAZING!
Today was day one of the GO! St. Louis Marathon expo all taking place on SLU's campus! We stayed pretty busy throughout the entire day plus lots of great interactions with the students. Great to work with Blaize again too as the energy he brings can really set the tempo for the entire day. It's infectious.

| SLU's Mascot - the Billiken. No, I can't explain. |
 |
| This statue had no placard and no one seemed to be able to tell us about it, but he was shirtless and so we clothed him. |
Working the big events and interacting with the local running community, I am continually amazed at the emotion individuals attach and exhibit toward Brooks. I've worked run-speciality for a long time and have failed to see that same kind of passion associated with another brand before. It's both inspiring but also very daunting - it sets the bar very high for us...
challenged accepted :)
It was bit windy today but zip-ties and anchor-weights saw us through - I think we were all just really thankful the rain and lightning from the previous days had retreated....

Chatting up runners and expo visitors there was lots of commotion about Brooks' new
Kaleidoscope Collection. Click on the link if you're not familiar - it's
HOT! Saw the collection in New Orleans and the colors really
pop - super nice. By the way, I want these socks:

| Everyday, everyday. |
After the expo we made a stop for supplies and I was able to swing into a Trader Joes real quick and grab dinner:
 |
| Glucose...nom, nom, nom... |
The day is done and it's time to wrap things up. Tomorrow is day two of the GO! St. Louis Marathon expo and tentatively we're meeting up with my old PowerBar boss for drinks afterwards! I can't wait to see her...she is
one-of-kind to say the very least.
Run Happy Island rolls on!
