Seasons Greetings!!
It has been a beautiful week of snowy weather! We hope everyone
was cozy and warm while running and walking in the -15 and colder
weather. In this week's email, we will have lots of new clothes
updates, tips and deals for you!!!!!!!!!!! The sidewalks haven’t
been plowed very well yet, so we commend all those walkers and
runners who have continued to persist through the bad weather
and night running! Way to keep up with a healthy lifestyle!
You’ll be thanking yourself once those big holiday dinners
roll around and the turkey is piling up! If you fee! l like
over the holidays all that turkey, not to mention cookies and
cake, are going to come back with a vengeance, our advice: come
to free Practice Club on Wednesdays at 6:00pm or Sunday mornings
at 8:30am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beginners are always welcome!! Or
even better yet, make an early New Year’s Resolution and
join one of our clinics starting up in the New Year! Not only
will you get in shape, you will feel better, have more energy
and make lots of new friends!!!!!
We are also currently scouting out Running Room Clinic instructors
for the clinic of your choice! If you have ever wanted to share
your own personal knowledge or experiences regarding running
or walking come by the Running Room and sign up to become a
Clinic Instructor. Whether you are an experienced runner/walker
or just starting up the Running Room will help you plan and
organize a successful and fun clinic for all participants.
Our hours are now extended to accommodate all of your shopping
needs for these last seven days until Christmas! So this Saturday
December 22nd we will be open from 9:00a.m. until 9:00p.m.,
and on Sunday December 23rd we are now open from 8:30a.m. until
8:00p.m.
Product highlight:
Champions Women’s Sports Bras are here!!!! A good rule
of thumb is every time you need a new pair of shoes (many of
which are now at a new lower price), you should get a new sports
bra to ensure you are receiving the proper support and are as
comfortable as possible during your winter activities, so now
is as good a time as any with all that bad weather starting
up to load up on new equipment!
And guys, for you we have the ever popular windbriefs in stock,
a great layering item with all of the wicked winter weather
we have had over the past couple of weeks.
And remember: American Express and Michelina's coupons are only
good until the end of the month. With so few shopping days left,
These coupons are a great way to take advantage of some outstanding
deals!
Tip of the week:
Looking to get a little extra benefit this winter? Well, hit
the road! If you can bear the cold weather, it is definitely
worth it! In the winter, by running the exact same run indoors
as outdoors, you burn 12% more calories and 32% more fat by
running outdoors! This is because your body burns calories to
maintain a steady body temperature. So when is a better time
for your bodies natural thermostat to kick in then in that –20
degree weather? As a bonus, you increase your vitami! n D intake
and your overall wellbeing because on a beautiful winter day,
who wants to be indoors?
Upcoming events:
Registration is open online for the Hypothermic Half on February
3rd. Spots are limited to the first 75 runners and walkers,
so if you are interested in a mid-winter fun fest you had better
hurry! This one fills up fast!
With the 2008 season fast approaching we are again looking for
dedicated runners and walkers who are interested in being pace
rabbits for the following events: Chilly Half, Around the Bay,
Mississauga full marathon and half marathon, Scotiabank full
and half, Toronto full and half and Niagara Falls full and half.
You must be able to run/walk 15 minutes faster than the time
that you choose and 10 and 1's are a must. Other than that all
that is needed is a smiling face and the drive to want to help
you fellow runners/walkers achieve their goals. What you get
