I'm not crazy about my LRS, mostly because I'm not a "serious" runner and don't seem to be part of their target audience. I always get this weird vibe from them. AFAIK, they haven't carried VFFs all that long- makes me wonder if they jumped in on the trend or if anyone there actually uses them.

*shrugs* Whatever, I have other sources for running stuff (like TE!), so I'm not losing sleep over it.
