Even More Kara News

I suspected this was going to happen but I was awaiting details. If you're as crazy over Kara Goucher as we are and you live in Chicago--or are coming in for Sunday's Rock 'n' Roll Chicago Half Marathon on Friday--you can meet her in person. Just head over to Fleet Feet Piper's Alley, 1620 N. Wells, at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, July 31, where Kara will be sharing training tips, signing autographs--first come, first serve--and celebrating the launch of the LunarGlide+ (a pretty cool shoe we hope to learn more about soon to share with you). The event also gives you the chance to score some stellar Nike raffle prizes, trial the new shoes and learn about their technology, and enjoy refreshments. The only request by Fleet Feet is to RSVP for this event. Better act fast--other Fleet Feet events are known to draw a following and with Kara in the house, this won't be an exception.

On a side note: or if you're like me, you'll be wishing you were at this event as you drive to Michigan for Saturday's Steelhead 70.3 Triathlon. It's time like this where I could be two places at once.
