FEBRUARY 2008 BIG MOVE NEWS!
New Decade - NEW LOCATION! GFR Relocates After Ten Years! 
All this needs to be moved... 
Here! Yes, you read that correctly. WE ARE MOVING - but not very far! If you are available, we could use your help. We will begin moving on Saturday, February 2nd at 4pm, rain or shine. Be a part of the Team GFR Moving Parade! Wear your GFR gear. Be a part of history! If you have a two-wheel handtruck or dolly, please bring it. If you have a little, red wagon, that will work too! [Tricycles may not work so well.] Lacking sufficient wheeled devices? Just bring yourself and a pair of work gloves! We've outgrown our current space. After 10 years at 233 Commercial St NE, we are moving ONE BLOCK SOUTH to 135 Commercial St NE. The new spot down the street will allow us to continue providing what you have expected from GFR. Thank you for your support in our first decade. We look forward with confidence and cheer to another decade of "Bringing Willamette Valley to Its Feet!" The downtown core of Salem continues to develop as a vibrant center for residential, recreational, economic and cultural activities. By relocating to the historic Bush-Breyman building, we envision Gallagher Fitness Resources at the center of these activities. The proposed pathways linking all the downtown parks (Bush Park, Riverfront Park, Minto-Brown Island, and Wallace Marine Park) with a continuous and safe route will be a mere step out our front door.
Track & Field Spikes - New Shipment New spikes and specialty track and field shoes from Asics, Brooks, Nike, Puma and Saucony have arrived. 10% Discount for all Track & Field Athletes and Coaches on shoes. Best selection in Oregon - Only at Gallagher's.
NEW Half-Marathon/Marathon WALKING Program! Start the New Year with a training program for walkers wanting to complete a half-marathon or marathon in 2008! The new Team GFR Marathon Walking program trains beginning and intermediate walkers. Bring friends for good, fun walking, even if you don’t plan a marathon yet! Over two dozen walkers have braved the inclement January weather so far. It's not too late to fulfill your New Year's Resolution to get in shape. Here is your opportunity!
Winter/Spring 2008 Half-Marathon/Marathon Training Program Continues If your goal is to run a half-marathon or marathon in 2008, we start new training programs in Late January and mid-February.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS John Prewitt Memorial John Prewitt, familiar figure on Salem's streets, roads and trails, and a nationally ranked ultra marathoner, died May, 2007, age 60. He is remembered by his quiet generosity, his enthusiasm, expertise and patience. In his memory, a trailside bench with a memorial plaque will be erected in Bush Park, one of John’s favorite places. It will cost about $1500 and the goal is to have it in place this coming spring.
