Hello, I know you all know that I run.
But do you know iRun?
iRun is a local running store owned by a wonderful couple I met, unsurprisingly enough, running. The store has been open a few years now and has become the place to go if you need trail running shoes, advice, help, a group run or just want to kick back a bit in the cozy chairs and chat running with people who do it. A lot.
No, really, I'm talking a lot. A crazy lot. Like Western States and Hardrock a lot. A hundred miles at a time and more lot. A lot.
When I started putting my feelers out a bit looking for something to do now that Four Seasons is quickly coming to an end, Mark, emailed me and asked if I would think about working part-time at the shop, as many or as few hours as I like, to help them... sell running bras.
No, seriously, that's what he said.
And although I did not know one thing about running shoes, or running clothes or cash registers or anything sales related for that matter, I do know what I like and I have always loved iRun, so I said yes.
And that was even before I realized that me and my sweet girls live on the run wall. See those hineys? Yep, that's us. :) And believe it or not, and I'm sure you believe it, it was even before I asked him what he was going to be paying me.
So, right now I'm working two days a week, three hours at a time, and it is an absolute blast. Really. I get to work with Mark and Katie and James, who is crazy sweet and lets me feed him all my baked good experiments, the more sugary and chocolaty, the better.
I get to play with new baby, Cade, who come visits now and again. I fold stuff. Organize. File. And every once in awhile, I'll model a jacket or two. Although, imho, the single best part of the whole gig is that each time I am there, I get to talk what I love - running and the local trails - with anyone and everyone who comes in the door.
And while I've yet to sell someone a pair of shoes all by myself, I do now know about the new North Face line so if you're looking for some winter weather gear, come on down and see me. ;-)
Oh, and sports bras. I totally got that one covered.
Grateful!
xoxo,
momo
