Happy Thanksgiving! Our 13th year has been great and we have much to be thankful for. We recall the relationships we have formed with many of you. The diversity of our customer base and the wide range of personal accomplishments come to mind. You continue to inspire us with your motivation and we are humbled that you have shared so much with us.

Many of our newer customers took their first walk around the block, lost a bunch of weight and started a journey into their personal fitness regimes. Some of you finished your first 5k, 10k, half marathon or marathon. Others challenged themselves to get fitter and found themselves raising money for charities. Some overcame injuries or personal hardships by lacing up their shoes and hitting the pavement for some therapeutic miles. A few qualified for the Boston Marathon while others enjoyed a successful track or cross country season. Thank you all for being a part of the GFR community and giving us the privilege to tap into your energy. We look forward to another successful year in 2011.

Happy 13th Anniversary Gallagher Fitness Resources!

Where: Gallagher Fitness Resources, 135 Commercial St NE - Downtown Salem

This is a great chance to meet other runners in the area and get some quality runs in. I will be a group that meets twice a week, which holds you more accountable during the cold, winter season.
