Shoe Odometer Sighting
Posted by Rick Cleary
When I first started selling the Shoe Odometer a newspaper reporter asked, “When will you know the Shoe Odometer is successful?” My response was “When I go to race and see someone wearing one.” Well I’m the guy at races looking down at runner’s shoes for a Shoe Odometer sighting. It’s a little odd, but my heart jumps a little at the thought of seeing one on a random person. Of course I’ve sighted them on runners that I know and that still gives me a little jolt. But alas, I’ve not sighted one on a random person. My wife (bride of 25 years) had her first sighting at a race this weekend. When taking off race chips at a race she was volunteering, a runner was wearing a Shoe Odometer. She was very excited to see a Shoe Odometer and almost accosted the woman. Unfortunately, she had to continue on with her volunteer duties and couldn’t find the woman after to explain her reaction.
I will diligently continue my quest for a random person with a Shoe Odometer. Currently almost all states in the nation are represented.
If you sight one I’d love to hear about it.
