HI Guys,
I just wanted to tell you something…………….you’ll have 11 pair of “St Johns Chrysostom-The Running Place” running shoes at the National AAU Youth XC Championships in Rock Hill, South Carolina on Saturday, December 3rd. The kids are excited and so are the parents, not to mention me and the coaches.
Thanks for having great products and most importantly for fitting my athletes with the correct shoe!!!! It does make a difference. We only had one foot/ankle/knee injury this year and with 42 kids on the team that’s a very low injury rate.
Best, Glenn

You can be sure we will be in to see you when we need new shoes!!!!

Most sincerely, Rosemary Raie
 


I'm sure you won't remember me.  I've only been to your store a few times.  I live in DE and it's quite a hike.  The first time I went to your store was due to a recommendation from my doctor.  I was having some knee pain from running and her prescription wasn't a bunch of drugs, but rather a trip to the Running Place!  About four months ago I found myself at your store, again because I was having injury issues.  You took your time and helped me find just the right shoe, which was no simple task. I'm happy to tell you that not only did that shoe help me get over my injury, but I ran (and partially walked!) my first marathon this past Jan in Disney World.  Thanks for the role you played in making my dream come true!           
Cheers, Natalie Keipenko

 


Thank you so much for your exceptional help with my husband, sister and brother-in-law last Saturday night. I know that you had to stay open late helping my sister find the perfect combination of inserts and shoes. I think that your store is great and I will be recommending it to any one I know who needs running gear. You and Mary both sounded like a wealth of information about triathalons! I will definitely be back as I prepare for my triathalon in September.    
Thanks again. Colleen Daniel

 


Thanks to Joan, Patty and Laura for such great assistance this weekend.  My husband and I took a run in Ridley Park on Sunday-- I wore my new shoes, he wore his new sunglasses-- and we felt terrific!  What a difference the right equipment makes!  Thanks for your careful, personalized help, as usual. And, thanks for the help with the Indoor Track Spikes for our 'running girls'.  They're bound to do even better at the Indoor State Championships with these great new shoes.  We especially appreciated the attention to fit that you gave them.

Hi Joan,
I was in the store yesterday and bought my first pair of real running shoes.
I was very happy with how you worked with me and made sure that the shoe fit and gave me the support I needed. Still, I was a little skeptical that a pair of shoes would make a difference in how I run.
I've got to tell you that I just got back from my first real "test drive"
and I couldn't believe the difference! Even with my sore knee, I was able to run farther than I had been able to in the past. I think the most extraordinary thing for me was that I felt confident in my steps. I noticed that I no longer watched my footing ... I had always felt like I was going to trip so I kept my head down and watched the ground. I was able to look at where I was going and enjoy the scenery. It felt amazing!
I just wanted to thank you for your efforts. You helped me to see that I will be able to meet my goals.

I just wanted to take the time to say thank you! I'm not sure if you remember me, but you spent about an hour working with me this past Saturday, attempting to find shoes that fit my ridiculous feet. I finally took them for a test run today for about 2.25 miles on the treadmill and, they felt great! So far, so good. It was wonderful getting back into a shoe with a little more cushioning. I finally had a bounce back in my step. And, thus far, my bunions are fine. I will take them for a longer ride in a couple of days to see how I do, but I think they are going to be a great fit.
Thank you again. I'm sure I'll be back the next time I need new shoes :)
Monica
