Sound Runner

I popped in to check out this new running store in town, and I was super psyched. Although the space is small, they do a good job storing carrying everything a runner might need, including various types of water bottles; winter wear; gus, gels, and chews; and even a full wall of Crocs-​like sandals. (Ok, I found this latter item a bit unnecessary, if only because there are lots of other types of sandals and flip flops out there.) They have a moderate selection of shoes and various types of attire, including non-​chafing underwear.
A guy in the store was getting a very in-​depth primer on finding the best running shoes, and he even was allowed to take a jog outside before committing to a pair.
They appear to have occasional running groups and «tune-​ups,» and I look forward to checking them out.

Finally a running store east of the River!!!
This is the third location that Sound Runner has opened in Connecticut, and after hearing so many wonderful things from my shoreline runner friends about this store I was happy to finally have a location close by.
As soon as Mark C and I walked in we were greeted by an plesant employee asking how he could be of assistance. I was not in the market for a new pair of shoes but my husband wanted to try out a pair of Hoka Hoka One’s which we were told the Glastonbury location carried. While Mark C was outfitted with not just a pair Hoka Hoka One shoes but several other options, I perused the store for things I «had to have».
I was impressed with the location’s tastefully lines walls and racks containing variety of men’s and women’s apparel and accessories as well as anything else you might need to make your run possible such as fuel and lighting.
In the end Mark C ended up with a pair of shoes and I ended up with some «must have» items (socks and fuel), but I will definitely be back as the store starts getting the Run Club and Pub Runs underway.
