And finally, please support #BrooksRunning! Brooks has sponsored my projects since 1990 under Tom Carmody and Helen Rockey! Jim Weber kept the fire burning with Dave Larson, Jesse Williams, Dan Sheridan, Amanda Reiss, Garrett Heath, and Jillian Zech for their continued support. Brooks makes tremendous running shoes; I love the Glycerin Max, Cascadia GTX 16, and Brooks Ghost Max. To see Brooks’s footwear and apparel, please go to www.brooksrunning.com!
