ASICS - Check out my favorite footwear brand, and the new Metaspeed Sky and Edge Paris racers that are out and they are amazing! Check them out at www.asics.com.

SAYSKY - What makes SAYSKY different from other apparel brands is our will to support sub-elite athletes; those whom we call “everyday heroes” – people who are joggling work, friends, and family, but still have the time and dedication to train hard and have fun along the way. This mentality is what SAYSKY celebrates and something our community can relate to. Also, their gear is insanely durable and will last for years and years. Go to www.saysky.us to see all of their offerings and use code "RAMBLING15" to save 15% on your purchase.

Peregrune - I've been using Peregrune supplements, including their Runner Multivitamin and Runner Joint, everyday since 2023 and for good reason. They are NSF and third-party tested. They are also for runner, created by runners. Save 15% on your purchase at www.peregrune.com by using code "RAMBLING" at checkout.

Baystate Marathon - "For Runners, By Runners" is the mantra of this fantastic race. They have experienced pacers at the Boston Qualifier times and consistently qualify ~30% of the field as its a fast, flat course with phenomenal on course support. The 2023 Baystate Marathon was ranked #15 in the top 50 BQ marathons by FindMyMarathon.com. Use code "rambling" for $10 off any distance at www.baystatemarathon.com.
