Boxing Week Sale!!

Hello there, friends!! We have jumped on the Boxing Week madness bandwagon and are presently selling off everything in the store for at least 20% off, but all the way up to 60% off on some items. Whoa. It must be admitted that we have somewhat selfish motivation for this act: we are trying to clear out stock to make our move easier. We're moving to a building so close to us that we'll have to carry over everything by hand, you see. So we got to thinking... maybe if we convince people to buy everything, we won't have a lot to move. And this is our plan.

Dates set for the next Run Clinics!!

Here they are:
Marathon Clinic - Sunday January 10th, 2010 at 8:00 AM
Re-Fridgee-Eighter Clinic - Thursday January 7th, 2010 at 6:00 PM
"Let's Start Running" Clinic - Monday January 11th, 2010 at 6:00 PM

Click on the "TRAINING GROUPS" link above for details on these clinics. We'll look forward to seeing y'all out!!

Next Round of Run Clinics to Begin in the New Year...

Our "Let's Start Running" group is winding down... our Marathon group has only just finished and our Oktoberfest Clinic has been over for a month. But be not disheartened, mes amis - the next round will begin soon... VERY soon. Within the first week of the new year, our next beginners' run group, marathon clinic AND Refridgee-Eighter clinic shall begin!! We have interest lists for all of these programs now on the go at the shop, so call in to get your name on the list or for more details!!

Boot Camp still on!!

There's been some confusion as to whether or not our ever-so-popular boot camp would be continuing throughout the winter months. Well, let me assure you - continue it shall. Under the supervision of local chiropractor and strength trainer Rob Green, the boot camp will be happening INDOORS at the Price Health Centre on Weber (right beside Swiss Chalet). It'll still take place every Wednesday at 6:00pm... you're just asked to bring five bucks help cover the maintenance of the equipment and such. Come on out and enjoy!!

Moving Sale!!

Looks like we'll be moving some time in January, but we need to start clearing out some of the old inventory so we're not all cluttered in our new home (which'll be right around the corner, 255 King Street North). With that in mind, we're selling off some of the older shoes at up to 70% off!! Summer clothing up to 60%!! WHOA!! We also have some of the more recent shoes on sale, like the Triumph 6, going at 25% off. This'll be on until we sell out of everything, but selection will dwindle so hurry in soon!!

Run for the Toad this weekend!!

This weekend we have the "Run for the Toad" happening at Pinehurst Lake Conservation Area, just outside of Cambridge. Yes, it has sold out, and a LONG time ago at that... even though Peggy and George (the race directors) raised the participant capacity by two-hundred people or so. But even if you didn't make it under the wire, dear friends, this event is still something you should really check out - starting tomorrow (Friday) at noon, the tent-city expo opens up (as does race kit pick up).

Next "Let's Start Running" slated to begin Monday, September 14th!!

Contrary to what it says in our recenty-delivered flyer (which I also wrote... like an idiot), our next "Let's Start Running" group begins on Monday, September 14th, NOT the 7th... which is, in fact, Labour Day. We're not even OPEN that day. But anyhoo - there you have it!! Come out and join us on the 14th for this free beginners' run group and build yourself up gradually towards a consistent and maintainable run!! It's a run-walk format, you see: at first you start out "running" for a minute, then walking for a minute, then "running" for a minute, walking for a minute and so on.

Marathon Group!!

I've got news. BIG news. Better sit down. Ready? Here it is: the next marathon clinic is starting!! WAHOO!! So, SO sorry it's taken so long for us to get things finalized, but it's all figured out and ready to be shared. Terribly short notice, I realize. It's going to begin informally this Sunday (July 12) with a pleasant little meet-and-greet with our new coach, Ms. Rachel Masser (who is, it must be noted, a very quick and accomplished marathoner herself). Here, then, is a blurb about her:

Looking for old shoes!!

We will be collecting (gently) used running shoes for the next week and at our tent at the Waterloo Classic on June 21st. They will be sent to runners in Ethiopia, so bring out all the old runners that are cluttering your closet and donate them to a good cause!!

Did YOU know...

...that we have a pretty killer sale going on right now on the Saucony Omni 7, the Saucony Ride AND the Saucony Triumph 5? The first one is going at 25% off, and the latter two are going for a whopping 40%!! They've been on sale like this for about a week and a half now... and you'd have known about it first thing had you been on our e-mail list... which you can sign up for by sending us a message stating that you have such a desire at runwat@golden.net. It'll get you race info, sale info, and witty anecdotes just about every week. Try it. You'll like it.
