VOL 2 • June 2009

Wow, we had another very successful Vermont City Marathon Expo! I helped set up on Friday and could feel the excitement building from runners and vendors I spoke with. Many thanks to the top notch Sportshoe Center staff for managing the booth, taking time to fit customers, and break it down at the end. We’ll be back next year and we’ll bring our portable changing room again which was a huge hit!

For those of you who don’t know, the Jeff Galloway half marathon training program is designed to give everyone regardless of running ability and age a chance of completing a half marathon with proper preparation. I am pleased that our Sportshoe Center location in South Burlington is now the origin of the weekly training runs and clinics. The secret is the gradual progression of running and walking to condition your body for the long haul and beginners need not feel intimidated. The Galloway Program is only offered at our store location and there is more information available on our website.

Our American made Free Sock Promotion continues as an added value to all our customers and to show our appreciation for your business. The customer feedback has been great and we are proud to support manufacturing in the U.S. so come in an buy a pair of shoes and we’ll give you a free pair of socks!
