    Jasper's D.O.G.S. special for April!

    As the saying goes, March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. But wait, even I know it is April. The way I see it, spring is here and everybody should be outdoors, sniffing their surroundings. Lack of appropriate clothing is no excuse! I don't mind a little wind and rain. Dog fur is adaptable and works in all weather conditions. But for you, my two-legged friends, a little extra protection during these uncertain April days may offer a bit more enjoyment to your outdoor sessions.

    April Jasper Special: Receive 25% OFF all in-stock long-sleeve shirts and jackets for the remainder of April. Mention the Jasper Special and the deal is yours!

    Trigger Point Class in April

    Trigger Point Technologies - TP Therapy Tools

    In the Trigger Point class, you gain 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. Learn to take care of yourself by creating elasticity in the muscles and treating the cause of a problem, rather than just the symptoms. Perform at a higher level and minimize the aches, pains and conditions that steer you off the path toward your goals. TP Therapy Link

    Questions: 503-364-4198 or email Susan@ActiveSalem.com

    John and Susan 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.
