Iliana and Eric Sach, co-owners of the Balanced Athlete; they had just completed the 12K run at the Landing when I took this picture
They stock lot’s of Keen shoes; my wife says this brand is her favorite for active active days. I’ll need to give them a try.
The Balanced Athlete has opened a new location at the Landing, just in time for today’s block party and 12 K and 5 K runs.
The Balanced Athlete is owned by two athletes who are intimately familiar with the gear they sell; as runners themselves, they know proper gear. The store offers free treadmill and video foot and shoe analysis, and training advice. They can show you how to decrease injuries and run with less effort.
They will also offer group runs, to help make your training fun and motivating. Their group runs are Tuesday and Thursday at 6PM, from 2-6 miles, and Sunday at 8 AM, from 4 – 20 miles.
Be sure to stop in to say hello to Eric, Iliana, and their friendly staff, and welcome them to Renton. Take time to browse the merchandise in their bright and beautiful new store.
Seahawks block party and 12 K run at the Landing

My wife Cathy gets her passport stamped at the Regal Cinema Booth, to make her eligible for the prize drawing, at the Seahawks Block Party and 12K Run at the Landing.
It was a PERFECT day for the Seahawks 12 K and 5K runs down at the Landing today, as well as for participants at the Landing’s second annual block party.
Almost TWO-THOUSAND runners participated in the races! Local businesses, like Caffe Felice, had been preparing for days to help cater to the record numbers of customers.
I missed the race, but made it down for the block party. There was an excellent band filling the scene with great music… Van Morrison, Commodores, and other classic rock.
The kids were enjoying chalk art and inflatables, and their parents found art exhibits, items for sale, and many other booths.
And being a Seahawks co-sponsored event, the Sea-Gals were signing photos for visitors.
The block party had grown considerably from the year before, and will no-doubt continue to build in future years.
Thanks to all who helped make this a success.
Here are some more photos:
