The RW Expo...The great companies!

Runners World Expo
I have been to a ton of race expos. It is one of my favorite things about racing weekends. So I knew going to the inaugural Runners World expo they would have some awesome companies to check out.
 
Of course Altra ZeroDrop, being the official sponsor of the race they would be set up and ready show off there great Zero Drop shoes.
This is Golden, the man behind the shoe. He holds the Guinness Record for the fastest marathon run by a 12 yr old! Trust me he knows his stuff.
I will be doing a complete separate post on my ICON/ALTRA experience, but let me tell you these shoes are AMAZING!
 
I have never actually ran in a skirt. I know a lot of people that love them. I am excited about trying my new skirt out!
Oh an these ladies are freaking amazing and super fast. They had a water station on the half marathon coarse and it was the most upbeat water station ever and PINK! lol
Only the best sock ever. We actually put the sock to the test last weekend by wearing them for 3 days, all 3 races, and then braved the smell check. OMG AMAZING!
They didn't smell or lose their shape. They were the most comfortable sock I have ever run in.
I have had the most problems finding a sock I can wear that doesn't bunch up or wick.
These socks are phenomenal!
Don't judge! HEEHEE!
I am one of those runners with a flat head, trust me its bad. I have tied a few different bands, but they have all slipped off my head in the back.
I put the Sweaty Band to the test and it actually stayed. I figured out that I needed a middle width band for the best fit. I am hooked. Yes I want them all!
Tina and I rocking our Sweaty Bands!
They had both the Lentil chips and crackers there to taste. I think we all agreed they were amazing. Laura was so informative on their products and for us bloggers we want info, lol!
 
I am an avid foam roller and have been wanting a stick for a long time. Thanks to The Stick, I was able to have the Sprinter Stick. It has really helped with my IT band and calf soreness.
 
I am so thankful to Fit Fluential and Rodale/Runners World for this opportunity.
 
My last post on my epic weekend in Bethleham will be tomorrow.
ITS ALL ABOUT THE RACE!
THE HAT TRICK!
