Do you have a good online retailer that you can recommend for runners? Large inventory, competitive pricing, timely shipping, etc.

Will be weightlifting and running to get into the best shape I can before turning 40. Here are my progress pictures: http://tinyurl.com/584qwt

On the suggestion of JeffGoBlue, I ordered 2 pairs of shoes from Road Runner Sports. They send out an email every once in a while with a discount code for buy 1 pair get the 2nd pair at 50% off. I used this the last time Jeff posted it. I was very happy with their selection, phone support (I made a size change), and delivery speed. I ended up getting the 2 pairs I ordered for about $75 less than they would have cost me at my local running store.

Passion is a rather frightening thing because if you have passion you don't know where it will take you.

When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

I really like either www.goforitsports.com or www.runningwarehouse.com. Both of them are located near me and I've been in the stores and I really enjoy the owners and the employees. Because I've met them, I trust them more now than other online retailers.

This company is owned by a guy that is on another board that I visit. I have placed one order and gotten great service... and it is free shipping in the US. http://revelsports.com/
