Results of Winter Race Series 5K #1

What a great day for racing, eh? (No, I'm not from Canada but I do like saying "eh.") After a very windy Friday evening, Saturday morning dawned completely calm with clear blue skies and rapidly warming temps. About 40 people showed up for the first race, taking advantage of late-November shorts & t-shirt (for some anyway!) racing weather. There was a lot of talk around the post-run bagels and fruit feed zone about using the series as a way to stay motivated to keep the running fitness up over the winter months; which is great to hear because that is exactly what we had in mind when we put it together.
Thanks to everyone who came out to spend their Saturday morning with us on this beaut of a fall day. Hope to see you all again along with some new faces at next month's 5K on December 12th; same place, same time, same course. Come on out and see if you can improve upon your time.

First Race (5K) of the Winter Race Series, Tomorrow 9am at Millpond

So what are you going to do tomorrow morning as the "shoulder season" drags on? There's not enough natural snow to ski on yet (yeah, I know Mammoth is somehow open for all you diehards out there) and it's a bit too cold for early morning riding or climbing...but it should be just right for getting your heart rate up in a 5K run. Yep, it's that time of the year again; our expanded winter race series kicks off tomorrow morning at 9am with a dirt road "lollipop loop" 5K (see map above; click on map for larger view). Come early(8:15am) for a FREE mini-clinic in Chi Running held by local instructor, Andy Selters. Then, after enjoying the run, stick around for bagels from Great Basin Bakery, bananas & oranges while "catching up" with your local running mates.
See you there...

Bradford Pear Trees on Willow St

Selling shoes is how I make my living. Obviously, in business, I need to make a profit, which sustains my daily life but my main motivation lies elsewhere. Primarily, I love helping fix feet. The phone calls and drop in visits we receive from happy customers that their feet do not hurt anymore is truly satisfying. The second motivating factor in my business is improving Bishop. When I started Sage to Summit, I knew there was a need for a running retailer, and more retail shops in Bishop. I cannot wait for the day when residents and tourists stroll along Main St to look and stop at the shops, restaurants, and galleries that will dominate our Main drag, and the for lease signs are gone. Slowly, it is improving and I want to do everything I can to help make a thriving Main St. happen. Today, I paid Bishop Nursery to plant five Bradford Pear trees along the North Side of Willow St. As part of the construction permit, we had to put in a new sidewalk, so I decided to take advantage of the new concrete and plant some trees. Please stop by and check them out, and in a few years, enjoy their summertime shade.

Sage to Summit Grand Opening Party - A Success!

Sage to Summit celebrated the arrival to 312 N. Main St Bishop, CA last night, Nov. 14^th.  Jeff Kozak gave a moving slide show on his speed attempt of the John Muir Trail revealing the highs and lows of his journey across the Sierra.  We had impressive raffle prizes with happy customers featuring new products such as Ugg Boots, Hi Tec, Born, Birkenstock and Ahnu shoes.  More prizes included Outdoor Research hats and shirts, Bridgedale socks, Trigger Point Technology foam rollers, Pro Tec Athletics roller massagers, Sherpani bags, and Sage to Summit hats.  Thanks to Dana Caraway for setting up a Pro Bar sample station and to GU for their new GU Brew electrolyte drink samples.  There were over 100 people at the event and almost everyone walked away with something.  Most importantly, thanks to Karen’s folks, Tom and Michele for bringing the amazing spread of food and their endless support of Sage to Summit.
