Track Shack by Cassie & Jill

Well our marathon, um 5K, is about 2 weeks away, and we've been seriously evaluating our wardrobe for the day of the race.  This is of primary importance, because we don't want to look poorly dressed, sweaty, and red-faced as we cross the finish line.  If we're going to be sweaty and red-faced, we at least want to be in matching outfits.  And, one of us (ahem, Jill) has been sort of obsessing over getting a sweatband.  So after our run together on Wednesday, we decided to make our first ever foray into the one place that true runners go in order to obtain cute running attire... THE RUNNERS STORE.  

Orlando actually has a great runner's store on Mills Avenue called Track Shack.  

It's where real runners go.  It's like a giant wonderland of everything a runner could ever possibly need.  Like stretchy pants!  License plate frames that say I HEART RUNNING!  Fanny packs with special energy bar pockets!  Wristbands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  


We clearly need it all:

When we arrived in the store, we met the diva of Orlando running, Betsy. Betsy owns Track Shack (more about her in another post). She knows pretty much everything about running. It was after meeting her that we realized what we knew of running was but a drop in the vast, enormous ocean that is running knowledge. It's quite intimidating:

We had quite a successful visit and were able to obtain shoes (more to come soon about our shoe-buying experience), but unfortunately, the pursuit of the sweatband was fruitless. :-( Keep dreamin, Jill.
