Nike came on as sponsors in Colorado and will provide running
shoes, ( I expect to go through 10 pairs) and running apparel including
the breathable waterproof clothing that will be needed to run in the
winter months.
Coca-Cola will provide all the fluids I will need to maintain proper
hydration and electrolyte balance. I will be using Coca-Cola's "Powerade-Liquid
Hydration and Energy Drink" and "Dassani Bottled Water"
products.
Slim-Fast
will help provide the essential nutrients and vitamins that I will need
via their "Meal On-The-Go" Bars and the "Slim-Fast Liquid"
products. Per my personal analysis and discussions with sports nutritionists,
both products have an ideal ratio of carbohydrates, proteins and fat
for long distance runners.
Cooper
Concepts of Dallas will provide me with a six month supply
of the Cooper "Complete Multivitamin and Mineral Supplement"
Dick and Eleanor Grace, founders
of the Brain Center, provided RAA-FEF running T-shirts, "P.R. flyers",
and signage for my RV camper.
The New England Patriots are providing
"patriotic" red, white and blue apparel with their logo.
