Training for our 1st Marathon

Is so much easier with...
Newton running shoes! I was a New Balance girl since high school. I even tried Asics once while in the Marines. I really liked Nike Pegasus in the past couple years but during the 1/2 Marathon this year I was introduced to Newtons. They're amazing. If you don't have good form, they force you to. My husband experienced this and he feels its really helped him...I didn't notice since I already had rockin' form. :P
We gave our super-heavy Jeep jogging stroller the boot and upgraded to this awesome piece of aluminium...the one-of-a-kind BOB Ironman Jogging Stroller. Love, LOVE, love it. Especially when Asher and I are passing people at Memorial Park on it. Watch out people! :)

In all seriousness we're very happy we can take Asher out with us (he can last a happy 4 miles) and give him a good example of healthy living early on. He still does not watch TV and he's super active at Westbury Baptist School and The Little Gym.
Doug is dying to put him up on a surfboard already. He figures he can push him into a little whitewater soon. Asher will certainly have his choice in surfboards when he's really ready too...our 9 or so custom-built surfboards are now home decor and playtoys.

Cool, I've never heard of Newtons. I've been using Brooks since my first half and need a new pair. I'll have to check out the Newtons. Glad the BOB is working out for you!

Wow, best of luck with the marathon! Even better that Asher can join AND be content for 4 miles ;) Go girl!
