oh, the weather outside is frightful...
ok, so it's a little nippy out these days. many of us a) decide it is simply too cold to get out of bed, b)decide it is simply too cold to get off the couch, c) decide it is simply too dark to run outside, or d) all of the above.
if this is you, here is your gentle prodding: come run with us! we don't have a delightful fire, but we did have donuts and coffee on saturday morning...'cause america runs on dunkin. or something like that. that was a completely unsolicited plug, by the way. but apparently dunkin donuts coffee just beat out starbucks in a national blind taste test.
anyway, as a reminder, here are our group run times:
tuesdays @ 6:30a
thursdays @ 6:00p
saturdays @ 8:00a
in other news, we now carry the Brooks Trance 8, which just made WIRED magazine's top gear picks of the year list. The Trance 7 won Runners World's Editors Choice Award and the Trance 8 has the same stellar features with a green twist: BioMoGo, the world's first biodegradable midsole. check it out!
also, new updates to the Mizuno Wave Ride and Wave Inspire just arrived (so the older models are on sale!)
