InStep is a running and walking specific physical therapy and performance footwear place that has many locations the Milwaukee area.  Check out their website HERE.  InStep is much more than just a shoe store and we are very excited to have them on board with our running race.

Several items will be donated to our raffle by InStep, including but not limited to: certificates for videotaped running evaluations performed by an InStep physical therapist and gift cards towards running shoes.  In addition, InStep will have coupons in the race participant goodie bags that can be used at their Delafield store location, less than one mile from the race.  Be sure you join us on Oct. 17th to support the cause, win a raffle prize, and get great deals on running shoes or apparel at InStep.

After a very long car ride, the CXC team made it to Lake Placid, NY, on Monday, September 28th.  We’ve been training very hard and resting well.  The only other nordic team in the training center right now is Sun Valley and we’ve had a little fun playing volleyball and sharing the cafeteria with them.  Unfortunately, we got our butts kicked in Volleyball.  We will continue to work on our serving and hopefully give them a better run next week.

Today we did some very hard itervals up a steep mountain road.  It has rained a lot the past two days and looks like rain the rest of the week.  Today it was snowing in the morining.  I wish I would have brought more warm cloths.
