Run-N-Tri Winner...

Happy Memorial Day

I hope all of you guys have a great day tomorrow with your family and friends, but also remember those that have and are serving our country!

I wanted to tell you guys how cool it is to be able to meet a reader of Zero to Twenty Six Point Two. A couple of weeks ago I ran a birthday giveaway. One of my favorite running stores Run-n-Tri in Mobile/Gulfport graciously gave me a $100 gift card to give to one of my lucky readers. The lucky winner was Shental of Gulfport, MS.

Lucky for me I was running a 5k at the waterpark the weekend I announced the winner. So that means I was got to actually meet Shental. This is us at the race...

It was so nice to be able to meet her and her husband John.

John is also a runner and triathlete. She had decided that she was  going to buy him new shoes with her gift card. SCORE!

I was lucky enough to meet them at Run-N-Tri in Mobile when they went to look at shoes.

The awesome girls Heidi and Julie at Run-N-Tri helped John pick out just the right shoe to fit his foot.

They checked his arch and pressure with AETREX iStep pressure plate...

Then they assessed his gait and foot strike as he tested different shoes on the treadmill...

After trying on a few different types of shoes, he decided on a pair of Mizunos

It was awesome to be able to meet and hang out with them. I look forward to hanging out with them more. Bring on the races!

John, I hope you enjoy your shoes.

Shental, thanks for entering!

And a special thanks to Run-N-Tri for the awesome gift card. It was such a fun giveaway!
