I made the decision to change my ways and set the goal of being around for her 50th birthday.ĭo you find there are other benefits to running? Being overweight was the symptom. The catalyst was turning 40 as my daughter turned 18 months. I started running seriously when I turned 40 and decided being overweight wasn't a way to go through life. In addition, anyone who tries on a Diadora shoe at Fleet Feet Old Town from January 16th to February 28th will be entered into a raffle for a $200 Quartino Ristorante gift card. To celebrate the launch of Diadora, we’re adding a surprise from Quartino Ristorante to every box for those who purchase a Diadora shoe at Fleet Feet Old Town while supplies last. Inheriting this ethos, three words stood out to us - quality, authenticity, and Italy - so we hosted the photoshoot at a place that embodies those three words: Quartino Ristorante, Chicago’s go-to Italian restaurant for loading up on carbohydrates the night before the Chicago Marathon. Diadora is a tale of a family business that started in Italy, grew in Italy, and is still proud to be manufacturing in Italy. The company does not boast a fabricated history, but a story of authenticity. He's been chasing the high of both ever since.ĭiadora takes pride in the quality and excellence of their running products. Bob ran his first marathon in 2004 and opened his first restaurant in 1989.
