Fitness and new running shoes go hand and hand with many New Year’s resolutions.  January brings in many new releases of running shoes in categories from motion control and stability shoes to neutral cushioning, minimalist, and barefoot running shoes.  These newly released athletic shoes offer all the latest and greatest technology from brands like Brooks, New Balance, Saucony, and Mizuno.  January also gives you the chance to find your favorite running shoes on sale as we discontinue some older versions to make room for the new releases.  I’ve personally had running shoes that I wished I had stocked up on before they went away because they worked so well for my gait.  If you’ve ever had that “special” running shoe by New Balance, Mizuno, Brooks, Saucony, or any other brand that made you run like the wind, it just might be on sale now as the new version is on the horizon.  Then again, it’s pretty cool to show up to a group run in a brand new 2012 running shoe with all the new bells and whistles.

Right now we have a many running shoes on our sale page that are being discontinued.  As their new replacements come in, we will get them loaded onto our site as well.  It may be winter now and may be cold, dark, or wet in the morning but look on the bright side; the days are already getting longer.  We get a lot of rain here in the Pacific Northwest and when I try to pull the rain card out of my deep pocket of excuses; my training partners remind that I carry Gore-tex running shoes and other waterproof trail running shoes.

Remember this your next rainy day you’re thinking about a run.  The hardest part is always just getting started.  Once you get a little wet, you usually end up not minding.  Plus, the sense of overcoming the elements after your done is always a boost to your sole!  That and a hot shower never feels as good as after a wet run!

Cheers!
