This past Saturday, we had a great time at the South Jersey Running Company of Mullica Hill!
I don’t know about you but I have been to the bigger sports company stores in the area and the employees are not helpful at all. If you are lucky to get someone to come and help you they just direct you to the type of shoe you are looking for or go “in the back” to get your size. I have very small feet (size 5 ½) and I find it very frustrating when looking for shoes. The Running Company store shines on customer service! We walked in and there was T.J. ready to help. Looking for the perfect fitting sneakers? They assess your feet so they can recommend the ideal shoe for your foot. There are no pressure sales and they were willing to answer any questions. I bought a great pair of sneakers and I LOVE them! I liked them so much; I wore them out of the store! I went for a run the next day and I felt like I was running on cotton balls!
The Running Company also sells running clothes and accessories along with running shoes. Some boot campers who came to the store on Saturday said they will not go anywhere else from now on! Definitely go check out the South Jersey Running Company in Mullica Hill (right near the corner of 322 and Main Street).
If you have been to the SJ Running Company and would like to post a comment please leave one below.
Christy shaved almost 2 minutes off her running time in only 6 weeks!
When I started the SHAPE program, I was not unhappy with myself but I was not happy either. I felt that I needed to be stronger and weigh a little less in order to be more competitive in the local triathlons. Compared to the other female athletes my age I am pudgy as well as a weak cyclist because I lack power in my legs. I frequently was placing fourth in my age group in a sport that only awards to third place, and I was very frustrated….Once in the SHAPE Boot Camp, I felt like I was getting stronger but I was not convinced that that was going to translate into speed…the food plan was illuminating. After I had to keep track of my food honestly for one week, even I could see where I was making some serious eating errors….[6 Weeks later] I am now at the lowest weight ever in my racing career. I am happier with the way I look and I know that I have to keep this up if I do not want to go right back to my old pudgy running self.
During Boot Camp Christy finished her race 2nd in her age group and 7th woman overall! For her 5K run course she had a best time in March of 27:49 during a straight 5K, today I did a 5K split (after the bike and swim) of 26:52. “That improvement is definitely from boot camp classes. Bring on more hill runs!” ~Christy Beal
