It's hard to believe but, with the running of the NYC Marathon Sunday, the fall marathon season that consists of the "Big 3" (Chicago, Marine Corps, & NYC) has come to an end!

There are still quite a few smaller races yet, and Philly, which continues to grow as marathon popularity grows, will host it's own marathon and half marathon on November 22.

With the races ended, or about to end, naturally, the topic of recovery and when to hit the roads again heats up. Without a doubt, there are more than likely a few sore muscles out there that have some of us feeling a bit banged up. So, what's a runner to do?

The two articles below can offer some help, as well as some differing opinions, as to what to do in the upcoming days and weeks following your races.

Congratulations to all who ran or will run marathons this fall, and enjoy your post race recovery! Treat yourself too, you EARNED it!

Marathon recovery Tips

Brook's update of it's ever popular stability shoe, the Adrenaline 10 has just arrived at Fleet Feet!

Always the leader, the Adrenaline GTS 10 has left the pack even further behind. The fit? Never better. The support? Perfection. As the legend hits double digits with its tenth iteration, the shoe is more dialed-in than ever. Now with a plush Profile Sockliner to sweeten the feel.

For those who've worn Adrenaline's you'll love this update! For those who haven't, ask any of us at Fleet Feet for a video gait analysis to see if Adrenaline 10 is the right shoe for you!

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.

Since we wrote about these new watches in our last newsletter, sales have been on FIRE!

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 marathon training program has ended and our Sunday long runs will be open to anyone who wishes to run. They will resume in a couple of weeks, and be held periodically. Keep watch in this newsletter for the dates they resume. You can also click on the calendar on our website for dates, times and venues for when they will be held.

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!
