Are you still running in those?
I can’t tell you how many new runners I’ve sent to Fleet Feet over the years to help them get into some decent, appropriate running shoes.
Now folks in Folsom will have access to two (2!) legit running shoe stores.
The Sacramento Bee has the details.

Saturday afternoon, I noticed my friend Jaymee had posted on Instagram a photo and results from her 5K run at the Beat the Blerch. What struck me most was that her finish time was an eye-popping 14:35.
Now Jaymee is a fantastic athlete and wonderful person, but I’d bet the house that she didn’t run 14:35 for the 5K.
Why am I so sure? Well, probably because the women’s American Record for the 5K is 14:45 and held by Molly Huddle.
I laughed and joked with her a bit but then started hearing murmuring about all the distances being short. A couple of people reported the marathon to be a mile or more short, and the half marathon clocking in at less than 13 miles.
