Hi Everybody!!

Welcome to all of the clinics that are beginning this week! We are looking forward to running and walking with you over the next ten to sixteen weeks, and are sure that everyone is going to have a great time.

We want all our RUNNING AND WALKING BUDDIES to join us for our clinics next week. That’s right, it’s like every night next week is Practice Club! You can come on out and meet our fabulous instructors, get some great information on shoes and running or walking healthy and then head out for some activity. Check out our clinic listings below for dates and times.

Product highlight:
For those of you who have been anticipating the next model of your favorite shoe, the wait is over! We’ve received lots of new shoes for you to come in and try. Here are a few:

Saucony Progrid Triumph 5 - The Progrid Triumph 5 will have responsive cushioning for the neutral runner. This shoe will have a plushfirst fit and offer one of the smoothest rides.

Mizuno Wave Creation 9 - Infinity Wave Tecnology utilizes 30% less foam than previous models resulting in more durable cushioning, better rebound and an exceptional ride.

Asics Kinsei 2 - The Gel Kinsei 2.. can the best get better? YES. How? Starting with the upper they have added a new material called Cuprothermo which uses a nano scale film which will keep the foot cool in hot conditions and warm in cold conditions. There have also been some changes to the lacing in that Asics have gone to asymmetrical lacing which will move more efficiently with the foot and reduce irritation. The new addition of the Propulsion Trusstic has created a seamless integration of the I.G.S. which means a smoother transition and better cushioning. The exposed gel in the heel and forefoot will ensure great impact protection mile after mile.

Asics 2130 - Consistency. This is what you can come to expect from the Asics 2000 series shoes. The latest installment of the 2000 series does not fail to please with its continued great fitting and breathable upper and great gel cushioning in the heel and forefoot. This shoe will continue to have a smooth transition from heel to toe by using the I.G.S. (impact guidance system) and will also have great support with the DuoMax support system for that mild to moderate pronator. The GT-2130 has the perfect blend of support and cushion to meet the needs of runners who are just starting out and for those long time veterans of the sport.
Asics 1130 - Great value and great features all wrapped up into one package. The new Gel-1130 continues to offer some great comfort enhancing features such as the open mesh upper to keep the shoe breathable and your foot dry, or how about the gel cushioning system that has been placed in the forefoot and heel to reduce some of the impact forces. Basically this shoe has a lot of awesome feature jammed packed into it and is great for short runs and long runs alike.

Tip of the week:
"...Your torso is along for the ride; by running erect you will stay relaxed and keep your breathing more efficient. Doing so will divert the energy into the driving muscles of your legs. Tighten your abdominal muscles and clench the cheeks of your butt to maintain core strength and balanced posture."
-John Stanton
