Notes From The Foot Whisperer - You Can Never Be Too Safe

Went out for a run on Monday morning. It was a pretty day in the 30’s with the sun shining. And very little wind. I normally run a small 3-mile loop near my house which is somewhat rural. It suddenly dawned on me that I was not alone. The fields and woods in Pennsylvania were full of people hunting that elusive whitetail buck. Although I don’t hunt, for the most part hunters in PA as elsewhere are very respectful of others’ rights to be out and about during this most revered of hunting seasons. But I find it doesn’t hurt to take some precautionary measures. Florescent orange (And VisiPro Pink for you women) or safety green are not only great to wear on the roads for high visibility. They also let the hunter know you’re in the area. For these next two weeks, and the subsequent doe season, please make sure you stay on the roads, and make sure the hunters know you are there.

It was brought to my attention that it would be great to maybe do an evening fun run through the local neighborhoods to view the Christmas lights and just enjoy the company of fellow runners during this holiday season. Sounds like a plan! We will keep you informed, and let all know the specifics; when and where.

Please make sure you take advantage of our Saturday group runs. They are free of charge. And all the “goodies” are provided. And keep Saturday, December 8 open for a great little event here at the store. We will be joined by Michelle Smith, the Saucony Tech Rep. She will provide test run ProGrid Guide 6 and PowerGrid Triumph 10’s (shoes) for you to all sample! And that goes for our walkers as well. Following the run, Michelle will be available for questions and answers, along with some great Boldy’s donuts and other refreshments! And, we will have a drawing for a free pair of Saucony shoes for all who attend. And everyone gets a free pair of Up-N-Running gloves! It starts at 8:00 AM. The distances vary. If you plan on attending, please RSVP by calling 724-898-2525 or email us at shoes@runpa.com. And give us your shoe size. See you all there!
