Believe it or not, Thanksgiving is just around the corner to kick-off a season that many of us find is a struggle in maintaining our weight. If you have a sweet tooth, then, Halloween is the kick-off of diet dilemma season.

While we all want to enjoy the holiday season, we also don't want to toss away all the benefits we've gained from all the effort we put into our training this summer.

The article below gives us several tips that we can incorporate into our routines all year round, so that there's less holiday diet pressure on us when this time of year arrives!

Asics' "Storm Shelter Jacket" for men always has, and if this edition is any indication, will still be, one of our most popular selling winter running jackets.

This jacket is perfect for those days when the snow is blowing or the rain is pouring down, but you've just got to get that run in. It features sealed seams, hem cord locks, waterproof and windproof construction, and wind panels.

Don't get caught out in the cold, get yours now!

Many of you have been running with Timex' Ironman watches for years! It's partly because that's how long they last and partly because you've come to love the technology, ease of use, and reliability of their products.

Timex now has introduced it's Ironman "Tap" series of watches. It works just like the Ironman versions you've grown to love but, when in "chrono" mode, you no longer have to hit buttons to get split times etc. All you have to do is "tap" on the watch face and your info "appears." There's also other cool features in "chrono" mode to make this watch perfect for your upcoming races!

Right now, Fleet Feet is the only place you'll be able to get Ironman Tap watches. The rest of the USA will be able to get them in February 2010.

They make great gifts too!

Tired of running alone? Need a little motivation? Want some running buddies? Then join us at FLEET FEET on Wednesday mornings at 7:45AM for a Fun Run.

Typically, our runs are easy paced, averaging between 3 and 4 miles and are open to everyone! Make new friends and stay in shape at the same time!

Our Sunday long runs are presently limited to those enrolled in the Galloway Marathon or Half Marathon Training Program. If you are part of that program you will receive separate emails with time, place and details of each scheduled run.

If the weather ever makes you question if a run will be held, please check out the home page of our website @ www.fleetfeet mahwah.com , for up to the minute status of our run.

You can also follow us on Twitter if there's doubt about the status of a run.

Each week that we send out our newsletter we try, over the course of time, to cover many issues that you'll find interesting and helpful as a runner, walker or fitness enthusiast.

If there are any topics that you'd like to see us address in the newsletter, or if you have any questions about running/walking, please email us and we will do our best to mention it in an upcoming edition!

Interested in joining our team? We always need help in providing extraordinary customer service to runners, walkers, and other passionate exercise fanatics, as well as folks that just simply need great shoes. If you want to be part of that, and if you love working with people, we need to talk.

The job? Well, it includes working with the nicest customers on earth, fitting them into athletic shoes and apparel, and demonstrating accessories. When you're not with customers, it also includes answering the phone promptly, display work, stock work, housekeeping, and assorted other retail chores. If marketing is also one of your talents, we need that too! We can be flexible with hours and days but, Saturdays are "biggies."

What's In It for You? Competitive pay, generous employee discount for you and your immediate family, the chance to wear test some shoes and apparel, an extensive training program, and your choice of cake on your birthday (but you have to share).

Still interested? Ok, then, please send along or email your resume to joeg@fleetfeetmahwah.com and we'll see you soon!
