Dear *****,
|
Recently I embarked on an epic journey to the northwest
... wait a minute... I am making it sound like I was Lewis and
Clarke  reincarnate and headed into
wildnerness. No such feat. I rode my bike with a trailer 50 or so
miles south from Bellingham WA, onto a ferry at Anacortes,
WA. I arrived on Vancouver Island in Canada, and rode
south to Victoria, BC. I was visiting my parents and decided to do
something crazy. Truth is that I needed a ride. I had my bike,
but I needed a trailer to carry my luggage. So I got one, thanks to
Susie and Jeff who were kind enough to sense my drive (or was
it my obsession). Either way, I got the goods and went off into the
fog. Yes, I even started the ride in a cold, windy and foggy fall
day.
As I rode and rode, I realized one thing. We
need many YESes to succeed and only one NO to slow us down. I
am grateful to all those YESes that despite their doubts gave me
words of encouragement. I am gratfeful to those who held their
NOs at bay. I am grateful that I got the opportunity to ride South
through Lambardee State Park, across the peninsula to Anacortes and
board that ferry to Sidney, BC. I am grateful for Ryan, Susie's
husband, who gave me a map of backroads along the coastline. I
was in need of this journey and their support made it happen.
So if you are in need of support, come to Fleet
Feet Sports. We are here for you with our YESes. That is our
Fitlosphy ™ and nothing short of it. The complete fit experience, no
matter what obstacles lay ahead. If I can do it, so can you!
Train Smart and Live Well,

forward; Movement on the arch as it collapses within the shoe;
Movement in the heel as it rocks from side to side; Movement on the
toes or the metatarsal area as the foot goes through its pronation
