I started running 2 years ago after a long, long layoff -- Kirsten and the folks at Slope Sports hooked me up with shoes and gear...and, most importantly, a great group of like-minded runners to hang with...I ran my first marathon and I'm not looking back.
Pros: Low key, but knowledgable; great running group; excellent product lines
Cons: Wish they could have more stores :)
