"If someone says, 'Hey, I ran 100 miles this week.  How far did you run?' ignore him!  What the (heck) difference does it make?....The magic is in the man, not the 100 miles."

Greetings!

What an incredible celebration of health & accomplishment for the 2010 Fox Cities Marathon weekend!!
 
Not only did we see yet another graduating class of No Boundaries participants successfully complete the 5K on Saturday, we had so much fun cheering many of you on in Jefferson Park on Sunday.
 
 
Congratulations to everyone that participated!! It was so thrilling to be a part of your journey.
 
For us, it was an opportunity to reflect back on last year's race; one of our early visits to the Fox Valley was to work at a marathon water station and house-hunt in the area. It's incredible how much your life can change in one year. For us it's been such a pleasure to become part of this community and we look forward to more opportunities to enjoy our new hometown.
 
Next up, car seat shopping (wink, wink!)...

Cheers!
Jeremy and Leah

Product Spotlight--Introducing the Enell Lite
You Like the Sports Bra? You'll Love the Lite!! 
 

The success of the ENELL SPORTS Bra created overwhelming demand for a second, lighter version, designed for low-to-medium impact activities.  The ENELL LITE bra provides well-endowed women with options when our high-impact sports bra is unnecessary.  This is a great all day bra for well-endowed, physically active women, providing a unique blend of shaping, support and comfort.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Many of us have been touched by this particular form of cancer.  Fortunately, it is a type of cancer that many organizations have become determined to fight.
 
Several of our vendors donate a portion of proceeds to the cause including:
  • Moving Comfort
  • Enell 
  • Bodyglide
  • Nathan
  • Sports beans
Support them; they're supporting our right to be healthy. Watch for deals throughout the month from these vendors.
