It's hard to realize it after the weather we've had last month but, spring is less than three weeks away.

For most of us, that means our running will be increasing for a variety of reasons, one of which is to enjoy getting outdoors after this horrendous winter.

Many of us, especially if you live in the Mahwah/Ramapo area, are forced to run on a hilly terrain due to the topography of our local running routes.

While many runners hate the thought of running hills, they can be, and are very useful tools we can use to to take our running in new directions.

The article below offers great tips on how to deal with these unavoidable challenges and make the most of them!

This March, Fleet Feet and New Balance will team up again and offer the third edition of the popular "No Boundaries" training program.

No Boundaries is a beginner runner training program that helps you adopt a fitness lifestyle by training you to run your first 5K.

This year our inaugural run will be March 27th and we will train you for the Reach Foundation 5K, our target race, on June 13th. We will also have two info nights to be held on March 18th and 23rd each at 7:00PM!

Check out our web page for more facts on this fun filled program and learn how you too can run a 5k!

There's also an article written recently by myBergen.com that features one of our No Boundaries alumna that I'm sure you'll enjoy!

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 at Rockefeller State Park will be resuming as soon as the park is free of snow and ice. These runs are open to every one and will be held throughout the summer and fall, until the park become inaccessible due to snow. Keep watch in this newsletter for their resumption and for the Sundays they will be held.. You can also click on the calendar on our website at anytime between newsletters, for dates, times and venues of any store sponsored 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!
