reefcam Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I'm going to be in Eugene on April 29 for the Eugene Marathon event. I thought on the way home, I'll hit up a few stores. So far I have Garret's shop in Salem and Coral Reef in Salem. The Nautilus in Springfield. Any stores in Albany or others in Eugene that you can recommend? One catch, they have to be open on Sunday.

Burningbaal Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 The downstairs at all for fish is definitely worth a visit, glad you're stopping at TPA. Haven't been to Eugene area stores, so I dunno... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reefcam Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 Thanks. All for Fish is closed on Sundays. :( Unless they changed their store hours and didn't update the forum. I'll shoot Clay a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigjohnwoody Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Are you running the marathon or the half marathon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefcam Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 @Bigjohnwoody.. running the half... maybe the full next year. I run mostly half marathons through the year and maybe a full one at times. @garrettm85.. can't wait to see your store. I have only been in your shop when you were at your parents.

Bigjohnwoody Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Me too!! This is my first half marathon. I've ran quite a few 5 and 10k's and figured it was time to up my game. Good luck to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr S Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Nice job guys. I have run two marathons. When you are ready to run a full marathon the Newport one is awesome, however a limited number, and completely flat. They have raw oyster shooters at mile 18!!! You also need to do the Portland one because there are so many people, awesome spectators and just a cool experience. Some killer hills however. I trained after school so the hills were the easiest for me after running in North Albany all the time. I am thinking about doing half marathons now since I won't have to worry about mile 20 "wall" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjohnwoody Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Running a marathon is my ultimate goal. Just need to find a time in life that is not so busy. It's just so time consuming. Sorry for taking the thread off topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefcam Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 @Bigjohnwoody... awesome... it'll be fun. Roger, I ran the Portland last year... I did learn not to get too plastered a couple of nights before... didn't make picking up packet very eventful. Maybe I'll run another full someday. This year I'm running Eugene, Rock'n'Roll Portland and Seattle, and Fueled by Fine Wine. The Fine Wine one is very hilly, but fun and challenging. Let me know if you decide to run the half or any half. Hmm... do I sense a group of running and fish group?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
