With last weeks running of the Philly Marathon and Half Marathon, this falls long distance racing season is winding down. That fact, along with the advent of the holiday season, means many of us are going to kick back and take a well deserved rest.

This time of year may also mean some holiday cheer but, if you're like most, you don't want to totally toss all the summers hard work down the drain.

How will that egg nog, or party cocktail, or that glass of champagne or two, impact your training now, and when you're ready to vamp it up again come January 2nd?

The article below will help you answer that question!

Cheers!

The L.S.D. Thermal Jacket will leave you excuseless for getting your legs going outdoors, as the temperature continues to drop. This jacket offers the balance between comfort, warmth, and cold weather protection. For those of us worried about having to stay cozy without running in a bulky, uncomfortable jacket, which limits our range of motion, the Brook's team has lightened the arms with a highly breathable fill in the arms. They made sure they kept plenty of the warm, cozy material in the body of the jacket to ensure you stay warm and comfortable as you face the harsh winter months.

The material is designed for thermoregulation so when the temperature falls, your body temperature does not! And with stretch side panels for added comfort and a full range of motion, you can use it for even more strenuous runs. This Jacket is also water-and wind-resistant to tackle inclement weather, making it highly suitable for the outdoor, cold-weather runner.

Oh, and did we mention, it is quite stylish, so you can wear it pretty much anywhere! It also makes a perfect gift!

Be sure to stop & check it out on your next visit!

The holiday season is a great time to let that runner or walker in your life know how special they are to you. There's an endless array of gift choices ranging from the simple, like socks or energy gels, to the more "creative" like that new Timex Tap watch, or maybe even a trip to that far away marathon!?

You can also simplify your life and take the challenge out of picking the right color and/or sizes by giving a FLEET FEET Gift card!

They come in any denomination, have no expiration date, and can be used at any FLEET FEET in the USA.

Ask any of us on your next visit and we'll set you up!

Our marathon training program has ended and our Sunday group long runs will be open to anyone who wishes to run. They will resume shortly, and be held periodically throughout the month. Keep watch in this newsletter for the dates they resume. You can also click on the calendar on our website at anytime between newsletters, 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!
