HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Joy, allelujah, and time for a new start! We welcome the milder weather, even if it is raining. It's nice to get back to the normal swing of things. A year ago we were preparing to relocate. The move has been great and our customers have been magnificent. We're in the groove at our new place, and we're ready for 2009! Come in and see what's happening!


JASPER SPECIAL
Savings for the remainder of JANUARY 2009!

Hi! I'm Jasper! Since we moved to the new location, I've been given a lot of responsibilities. My favorite one is official greeter. With a wagging tail and a cold nose, I joyfully welcomed many of you through 2008. I can't wait to see you in 2009 and share my big news!

Recently, I was given a new job, Director of Generating Sales. I especially like the acronym, D.O.G.S.! The job description includes crafting a monthly special at GFR which will appear in our store newsletter.

New Year's resolutions are a hot topic. In the spirit of New Year's resolutions and promise in the political arena of cooperation and respect between opposing parties, I've decided to feature cats for January. Some people really, really like cats. Me? Well, . . . I'm a dog. Don't get me wrong, cats are cool. PUMA is cool, so PUMA will be my favorite cat for the month of January.

All Puma products (shoes and apparel) will be 22% off through January 2009. Mention the Jasper Special and the discount is yours!

Speaking of cats, Susan asked me to remind everyone to read the next section. See you next month, or hopefully before then so I can joyfully greet you!

    In the Trigger Point class, you get educated through a better appreciation of which muscles are tight and how to release them for better performance. We address common running conditions like IT Band Syndrome, Plantar Fasciitis, Shin Splints, Piriformis Syndrome and more. We provide a way for you to take care of yourself by creating elasticity in the muscles and treating the cause of a problem, rather than just the symptoms. You'll perform at a higher level and minimize the aches and pains and conditions that steer you off the path toward your goals. TP Therapy Link

    John and I believe you can accomplish things you never thought possible. When training for distance events, we guide you toward your goals, but you do the work. From time to time, aches and pains occur and whether you're a beginner or a veteran it's not always easy to know when to push through the discomfort and when to back off. Each time you return from a set-back, whether short-term or extended, you learn something new and gain more knowledge in how to deal with it the next time around. We believe this learning process, this "runner's education" is vital to personal improvement.
