A little bit of stick it to em for the feed! A vest was revived this afternoon after a furry friend took some nibbles out of it, which actually works really well as a segway into something I’ve been meaning to post on!

I’ve had sewing supplies for a while and have made a few niche things when I find the time. A few months ago, I had a customer say he threw out an old Brooks vest because the zipper was no good. While I do think it’s a totally fair thing to replace at 8+ years old, it stuck with me how that could’ve had life left for someone else if he was done enjoying it (and if I mentioned sooner that I can help).

With that in mind: If you have running gear with holes, busted zippers, looking for a hem, etc. I will gladly take a stab at repairing it, FOR FREE!

This was a difficult one with multiple pockets that I couldn’t really use a machine on, but it’ll hopefully function just as well.

Happy Friday!!

More Goodrs for the recent sunshine! Later this week looks a bit colder (and cloudier), but it won’t be long before we have some sun AND snow, so come check them out!!

I’m just getting over a cold, but I’ve been sitting on this one for a few weeks as I let more winter gear arrive. Link in bio, or on our story as well.

Tldr; this is the official gift guide for the winter and any other gift guides are going to be handwritten gear recommendations blindly picked out of a fishbowl.

New Friday hours for daylight savings!

In an effort to give some more free time for Friday night activities, I’m shifting the closing hours up to 6pm so I can lead the evening group run earlier. Still opening at 8:30am, but the morning session will go off at 7:00am now to accommodate some earlier work schedules!

Some events we have planned will still extend these hours as necessary, so stay tuned to the socials for updates there!

New hours go into effect this Friday (10/30), and the evening group run will be postponed so I can make it to a costume party. I’ll also be closing at 5pm tomorrow (10/29) to hang with friends (Skan Run Club)!

Can’t wait for Halloween GORE? Neither can we!!

If you’re looking for a shoe you can run in no matter the weather, take the dogs out for a walk, or just rely on not being wet into the next day, GORE-TEX waterproofing is the best out there. It’s really a necessity for anyone in CNY for the next few months, and this season we’ll have the following models in the store:

• Salomon Running Aero Blaze 4 GRVL GTX: A mouthful, but a unique lacing system that fits me better than the standard Salomon Quicklace setup, and I think my favorite cushioning/ride out of all of these.

• HOKA Challenger 8 GTX: One of the longer-standing Do It All hybrid shoes out there. You get classic Hoka cushioning to keep your feet happy (and lift them out of puddles), and reliable traction.

• Topo Athletic Ultraventure 5 GTX: Topo’s first shoe with GORE-TEX, and happy to say I like this much more than their prior waterproofing. Our least-known brand, also happens to have our best selling trail model in the regular Ultraventure 5 (and is currently leading Ithaca in footwear sales this year).

• Brooks Running Ghost 18 GTX: Little needs to be said for the Ghost in popularity, but this is also our most popular waterproof model year after year. It’s simple and just works, all without needing to reinvent what a shoe is. We also have a secondary color in these this year!

Check out our GORE-TEX waterproof shoe options before it’s too late, and we’re buried in snow (or rain, nobody really knows anymore).

Loop the Lake packet pickup is almost here!

Planning a final shakeout before the big weekend? Start at the store to try out the ASICS Running Superblast 3s! We’ve got demo sizes to go around, and if you’re looking for company, you can join me and some pals for a few miles at 7am (or 7:30am since we’ll swing back through to pickup anyone) and 7pm.

Come hang out with me in the shop this Sunday as I try to get the Chicago Marathon on our tiny TV! Store hours are shifting more towards the morning too, and we will now be open 8:30am to 2pm!

09/29/2026

I’m catching up on some new stuff arriving in the store the last few weeks, but we do have some events to plug for October:

October 1st - I’ll be at Skan Run Club Skan Run Club so closing early to get over there on time.

October 3rd - Another Syracuse Run Club SYRACUSE RUN CLUB morning run with Asics demos and packet pickup for the Inner Harbor 5k.

October 4th - Inner Harbor 5k! Chat with me and a pal racing in the 5k and get some single-use 10% off cards to use in the store.

October 16th - Loop the Lake Wolfpack Multisport packet pickup for most of the day on Friday, with the shorter races going off Saturday, and longer stuff on Sunday that weekend.

And of course, the weekly group runs are still on going in October. I’ll be sure to update everyone on other stuff that comes up too!

A new Salomon Running style in the shop: the Aero Blaze 4 Gravel!

Ian and I spent a lot of time last winter looking for a light trail shoe to give a little more bite into fresh snow, while still having a smooth ride on uncovered sections, and we really feel like this is going to be a great addition this year. It’s essentially the same upper, fit, and cushion as the regular Aero Blaze, but includes an outsole with some texture to it and a simpler lace closer system.

Personally, I haven’t been the biggest fan of Salomon’s Quick Lace setup in most of the trail shoes I’ve given a try, but I was surprised that the tweaks made here feel like they have a much better hold on my foot that shouldn’t have me readjusting anything while on the move.

Stay tuned to know when we get some waterproof options in the shop! October still looks like it’ll be fairly warm in Syracuse, but it’s a great time to buy your winter gear early before we run out!

Some updates to the Syracuse store hours this week as we head into Labor Day weekend!

I'll be closing a little earlier tonight (6pm) and tomorrow (5:30pm) for some inventory swapping and a very cool group run event in Skaneateles! For the other days: Friday will have regular hours, Saturday going 10am to 4pm, Sunday on regular hours (12pm to 5pm), and Monday just 2pm to 7pm.

Stay tuned for a post with some deals I'm working on for the weekend too!
