And For All You Savvy Shoe Shoppers - A Word From Sister Kirstin

ATTENTION ALL VARDO'S:   During the month of November, Emerhoff's Footwear is offering 20% off EVERYTHING in the store!!!!  This is double the normal 10% Team Vardo discount and is a good time for you to think about stocking up on a new pair of shoes (or three!) to get you through the winter, you might also want to check out some of the new Merrell's (my personal favorite brand when I'm not in my runners) they're fun and comfortable AND they've even come out with a running shoe too that's gotten good reviews previously in Runner's World.  Emerhoff's is open M-W, F from 9:30-5:30, Th from 9:30-8, and Saturday's from 9:30-5.  Give em' a call at 515.232.3473 with any questions, or better yet stop in and say hi to Mike or Mark.    Kirstin Peterson 

Shoes?  Did Somebody Say Shoes?!?!   Look Who's Back In Town Today - Danielle "Imelda" Wain

 

"My (thesis) defense is tomorrow at 9am. I'm coming to the group run at 5:30. If anyone wants to help me celebrate/mourn, I was thinking of going to Olde Main afterwards. I permanently leave Iowa on Wednesday!"    Danielle Wain
