Vertical Runner in Hudson / Photo: Owner Vince Rucci, credit: Plain Dealer
Today on a whim while driving through Hudson decided to take a quick walk through the shops in downtown (along Main St) and came across a nice store dedicated to jogger and walking enthusiasts that I have heard a lot about over the years. Even for a monday afternoon I was suprised the store was quite busy with people trying on shoes, sifting through the wall of socks, and even the wall of healthy looking snacks and waters.
This store is known amongst the running and excercising community as top notch, and is recommended by many of the personal trainers (and they shop there too) to find a good pair of running or exercising shoes that also work at the natatorium (which is how I heard about it). Though they have stiff competition with local stores such Dick's the shopping experience is something completely different with the 'small enough to care' attitude towards everyone.
While I didn't go in there to buy shoes I was hoping to find a pair of trekking poles for hiking this summer (which they didn't have) I did however find a local source for camel backpacks will come in handy.
