I read about two other running stores in the area that I am going to have to go check out sometime. One of them is The Balanced Athlete up in Kent (near Fry's Electronics apparently, how did I miss that?), and the other is Route 16 over in Gig Harbor. Might have to combine a trip to that one with a run, get my money's worth out of the toll across the Narrows.
I'm thinking about signing up for a last minute race the weekend after next. I've been pondering over either the Sound to Narrows 12k here in Tacoma, or the Beach to Chowder 10k Challenge down at Long Beach. I like the idea of finally doing the StN, given that I've heard so much about it from my dad, and it also has the advantage of not having to travel very far, but I'm rather put off by the sheer number of people that I'm told participate. Something like this Chowder Challenge sounds a lot more low profile, but Long Beach isn't exactly close to Tacoma, and would mean a very early morning drive...well, both have their disadvantages, but either is sure to be fun. I'm trying to talk my wife into doing the 5k version of one of the races too, so that might be a deciding factor. Have to figure out which in the next 48 hours though, or I'm more likely than not to sign up for neither.
