Sad news..

Runner's Feet in Burlingame is closing :( It was an institution on the SF Peninsula for nearly 30 years. I started shopping there in 1982 and worked there from 1996 - 2006. One of the last of the old time shops. It will be missed. Shaun (the owner) did open another store in Turlock (about a 1 1/2 - 2 hour drive from SF) so the name lives on. She has had RF since 1990 but the commute has been too much the last couple of years.
Even though I am in Kennewick WA now, I think of the store often and definitely miss it.

Good Night Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are!

SHOUT OUT...

I just want to give a couple of shout outs to former Runners' Feet employees and outstanding young ladies.

LG just won the SF Marathon in a time of 2:52!!! It isn't exactly a flat course. I have known her since she was an outstanding high schooler. Awesome job!!!! I am very proud of you.

JWO just had her first sub 5 hour 1/2 ironman at Vineman. Very cool. We actually ran for the same high school and even had the same coach (even though I am about 20 years older than her). Keep up the great blog, very entertaining and VERY revealing. Stay fierce!
