Great Experence At Blacksburg RunAbout Sports
February 8, 2020 – 1:12 am
I hate shopping for clothing, including shoes – even shoes that I need. My marathon days are far behind me but, after my retirement, I have come to a stark realization. In order to stay healthy, I am either going to have to step up my exercise routine or stop drinking beer. The obvious choice here involved the purchase of new running shoes.
I have been out of the distance running scene for a long time. My last marathon was the Myrtle Beach Marathon in 2005, so I knew I was going to have to seek out the advice of a professional to pick my new running shoes. A quick Google search lead me to the Blacksburg RunAbout Sport store (1470 South Main St., Blacksburg, VA 24060 (540)-552-9339). That is where I met Peter who spent the next hour fitting me with a great pair of new Asics Nimbus 21 shoes. And when I say fitted me I mean fitted. First, he asked me to remove my shoes and walk away from him and then back toward him. Then he put me on a machine that performed a 3D assessment of feet. Finally, I walked across an electronic mat that assessed my foot strike.
After trying on eight different shoes, I settled on the Asics Nimbus, although the Brooks Adrenalin were a close second. Now all I have to do is go out and run. If you are in the market for new running shoes, I can’t recommend the Blacksburg RunAbout Sports enough. Just ask for Peter and tell him the old guy with a beard sent you.
They also have a Roanoke store at 4600 Brambleton Ave, Suite C, Roanoke, VA 24018 (540)-989-2064.




I have suspected that the increase in the “helicopter” parenting methodology and the decrease in holding children accountable for their actions was going to have an impact on our culture. If you couple that is the “everyone gets a trophy” crowd so we can protect our children from ever experiencing the joy of accomplishing a goal and the lessons that are learned from failure, I thought we might be raising a generation that is ill-equipped to handle the challenges of life.
CNET recently published an article by Associate Editor Dan Graziano that details how to take a screenshot using any flavor of Windows. I thought I would re-post the article so it would be easy to find when it is needed.
After several decades, Ernesto Miranda, the namesake of the “Miranda Warnings”, is still probably one of the better known modern criminals. His case, which was combined with several other similar cases being brought before the U.S. Supreme Court, resulted in the necessity to inform suspects that they have a right to remain silent, have an attorney present during questioning, etc.

Face it, normally Youtube.com is a time sink where you go to watch silly jackass outtakes and cute kitty videos. However, I finally found a channel on YouTube that may just give it some socially redeeming value. It’s a regularly updated, fast paced series of history lessons taught by author John Green. Remember those boring history classes when you memorized a bunch of useless facts? Yeah, well this isn’t like that.
