Killing Me Softly

It's not funny. A fantastic little piece of area running is in a hurt locker, right now: Great Plains Running Company. What's really sad: A lot of the folks who decry this tragedy have let it happen. How? by buying their shoes online, instead of seeking them out at one of their closest area running specialty stores.

Buy local. Keep local jobs and families sound.

Thanks Ben, way to get to the point! It is us, the runners that keep our local business alive.

Yes sure its a good thing to have the local business, BUT, when you can almost HALF the amount you pay by ordering through the internet, there is no way I will just throw all that dough at a local business just out of guilt I ten could not afford to take care properly of my feet!
I buy my Gu and running gear occasionally from the local vendors, but seriously, I bought shoes from roadrunners for 90 dollars, where her locally it would have been 170 with taxes. That's hard to justify!
Great blog!
here is mine!

The most affected by this is the runners, we should buy their shoes through online to help them in out own little ways.
