It's been a bit since I wrote any product reviews or articles but I plan to change that. The reason for the lapse has been that little thing called daily life.
Our busy race season has kicked off and we are working on events every weekend. The trucks and trailer and have been traveling around producing races and helping others make their events better. We'll be working on over 100 races this year, crazy growth again this year, should be interesting. We've added timers and support crews to try and keep things going smooth.
The store has been very busy. Even with the not so great economy and less then warm spring we've been pleased with the growth we've experienced. Plans are in the works for a bunch of new programs and events so stay tuned.
Corporate Challenge is coming up next week and that is always a busy time for us. Ellen is the volunteer coordinator, I work on the finish line crew and we provide shirts for 20 different companies. I swear I spend all day for a week straight doing nothing but CC shirts. Crazy but the teams get some great technical shirts at a really fair price
Lab Rats v1.5 is kicking off, late but starting. I'm working with 4 runners and hope to keep them improving and reaching their goals. I've got some seriously nasty workouts planned for them. It's actually tougher having the smaller group as each one will get a custom program.
Ellen and I managed to sneak away for three days to Florida to visit most of her family. I was not ready for 95 degree heat that's for sure. Also got to have dinner with Erik and Stacey, the owners of Fleet Feet Sports Orlando, which is always fun.
I got to watch a few high school track meets since we sponsor three local invitationals. We had a booth at each and got to talk with a lot of kids. Saw a few good races as well.
I've even been running a bit since I decided to register for a 50k in Tahoe in July. Not my smartest move but I've done dumber things. A few friends and teammates had already registered so I decided to jump into it. Unfortunately the race was sold out but lucky for me Fleet Feet Sports Carson City is a sponsor and pulled a few strings. It's good to know people. In the very least it will be nice to get away with Ellen for a few days out west.
So there you have it. My big excuse on why I haven't been writing. Two companies that are growing fast, tons of events, a little bit of travel, and a few days a week of running. I think I'm getting things under control so you'll be seeing a lot more reviews and stories. I've got new shoes to write about, a new event that we are starting, more fun runs and training programs fro mthe store and more adventures with the Salomon Fleet Feet Sports Endurance Team.
I'll see you out there
