The
Running Room Club Update: November 22, 2005
Sudbury Store (Cedar Pointe Plaza)
Greetings, Running and Walking Enthusiasts!
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Derek
Lalonde for breaking the World Record on Tuesday November
15, 2005 running 50km on a treadmill in 3:39:00. I was there
to witness the finish and talk about a focused individual...just
when you would think a runner would start to slow up he
picked up the pace to finish even faster than his goal.
Thanks again for your inspiration.
HO! HO! HO!
Polish up your jingle bells and spread some cheer because
we are just weeks away from the Santa Shuffle! The Salvation
Army is holding the annual Santa Shuffle 5K & Elf Walk
1K on Saturday, December 3 at 10am. Both courses start and
end at the Sudbury Running Room, 1984 Regent Street. Join
us for holiday running and wintry walking - I guarantee
Santa will be there!
Collect pledges and you can earn some great prizes, like
T-shirts and Running Room gift certificates! Register as
an individual or family, or get together a team (up to 10
people) and challenge other to raise funds for the Salvation
Army. Register to run, walk or volunteer online.

WHAT'S NEW?
Winter Accessories - There'll be no excuse for cold fingers
or ears with our biggest selection ever of warm gear for
your hands and heads. Check out the new line of Wind Pro
accessories (earbands, neck gaiters, skull caps, balaclavas
and bandannas), combining the warmth of fleece with the
added bonus of wind and water protection. Also, welcome
back all of our Dryline favourites (hats, ponytail toques,
earbands, neck-warmers and balaclavas), and introducing
ever-so-soft Micro-fleece hats and earbands! So many choices!
Power Shield - Made in Canada, this is the ultimate running
gear for cold winter conditions! Polartec Power Shield products
are water repellent, block 98% of the wind AND they are
highly breathable (which makes them perfect for active sports
like running and walking!). Come in and check out the Power
Shield jackets and pants in great new colours - lilac/black
for women and ultramarine/black for men!
Lightweight Fit-Wear - Brand new to our very own Running
Room Fit-Wear collection are the Lightweight jackets and
vests. These featherweight shells are perfect for those
who want less bulk but a little bit of wind protection,
or pull these out on the milder winter days. Jackets and
vests are available for both men and women in crisp, cool
colours (royal blue and mint green).

HOLIDAY SHOPPING
Christmas is coming, returning this holiday season is our
Gift Registry book! Save your friends and family the trouble
of shopping for you - dedicate a page in the registry to
your many little wishes! The perfect way to make sure Santa
brings what you really want. Shopping has never been easier!
Still stuck? Gift certificates are always a great option
for the favourite runner or walker on your gift list...so
why not purchase one of our new Money Cards? Running Room
is going hi-tech with reusable gift cards. The Money Cards
work just like gift certificates only there's no more paper
to lose! We sell cards in preset denominations ($25, $50,
$100) or you can choose the amount.
Think the Money Card is a great idea? It gets even better
- we now have Fuel Cards, too! How many times have you arrived
at Run / Walk Club and needed a quick PowerBar or a Clif
Shot, but didn't want to break the $5 bill in your pocket
(at least not until coffee time AFTER the run)? Now you
can carry the Fuel Card and only the Fuel Card! Created
for your nutritional needs, the Fuel Card means you don't
have to run with jangling coins in your pocket or walk with
extra change in your mitts. When you use it up, just add
more cash to the card and you're filled up again. Shopping
really IS getting easier by the minute!
