Run San Marcos

The new chapter begins. I have been working hard on getting my new store ready, CORE RUNNING COMPANY, here in San Marcos. It has been alot of work, but alot of fun. Central Texas is a rich running region, with tons of recreational runners, due to the active demographic and favorable weather. Austin, 25 miles to the north, is a very densely populated running city, with 4-5 stores competing for business.

I chose to settle down in San Marcos, a very small community in Hays County, about a hlaf hour away. Although not as busy here, I am happy to create a store that will service this community. We live here, send our kids to school here, and work the local races here. Above is our local San Marcos Runner's Club, an incredibly active club in town that does twice weekly runs. A few of the group competed in a 5k this morning, I am getting back into "racing" shape, but was suprised that I actually was able to win my age group, 40-49, and earned a tombstone trophy.

I'll keep the info coming on CORE RUNNING COMPANY, but we are super happy to be part of this community and building a local business that hopefullly be around for a long time!
