Hi everyone,  

Happy Valentine's Day - week!  Congrats to all the brave runners who competed in the Valentine's Day 10K last Saturday.  It was great to see so many people out despite the rare cold Saturday morning!

Our Tuesday/Thursday night runs at 6:00PM are going great with this mild winter we're having.  Join us tonight at 6:00PM at our Mundelein store for a great run!

The Cary 1/2 marathon is almost here so be sure to join us in Cary this Saturday as we preview the course.  Also, be sure to stop in GLR sometime soon to check out all the new footwear and apparel available.        

 

Saturday Run in Cary, IL  
This Saturday we are meeting in Cary to practice running on the March madness 1/2 marathon course.  This is a great chance to get in some good hill running with friends.  There are routes available for anyone who doesn't want to run the full 13.1 miles or for anyone who wants to tack on some additional miles.

Click here for the 13.1 mile route

Click here for the 18 mile route

This is a challenging course and it would be great to have a large number of runners out there helping each other out.  Remember to bring some liquid and to dress appropriately.


See you there! 

New Zero-Drop shoes available at GLR!  
Stop by GLR to check out the new Altra zero-drop shoes!  A zero drop shoe is a a shoe where the heel & forefoot are the same distance off the ground (most shoes have an elevated heel).  This allows for a more natural way of running.  These shoes are great for anyone who wants to become more of a mid-foot striker so be sure to check them out!
 

Spring track spikes now available at GLR  
GLR now has a full line of PUMA and Adidas track and field sprint and distance spikes available.  These spikes are great for any high school or junior high athlete looking to improve his or her time. 

Stop by GLR and make sure that you have every advantage this track season!

   

Our run group is open to everyone - so please join us for a nice run with a great group of runners!  Hope your training is going great so far this warm winter!!

 

See you soon!
