Support Your Local Running Store

I know that it's good to support local shops, and I try to when I can.

My local running store, Runner's Lane, made a lifetime customer out of me this week.

I haven't been in there since late last summer. I stopped by one night this week to get another couple pairs of Wrightsock double-layer socks (love them!) and the owner remembered:

a) My name (first and last)
b) The shoe manufacturer and model that I bought from her last summer
c) That I hurt my knee training for the Long Beach marathon

I was impressed!
