Some connections Sue has made recently are with
businesses that compliment Sue’s practices, and provide valuable
resources for Tread Powerfully®
(TP) and its participants (and in some cases, maybe even a discount or
two…)
Sue’s favourite shop for just the right outfit or
accessory to treat her inner and outer self is Joelle’s. Let Joelle and
her attentive staff help you show off your new TP body in a
great pair of jeans that seem like they were made for you.
Visit Joelle’s at 457
Brant St in Burlington, and check her out online at www.joelles.com.
Just around the corner from the TP starting point
is this downtown Burlington athletic footwear and apparel shop. Owners
Paula and John are avid and experienced runners who offer both
selection and advice on shoes and all the latest running and walking
clothing and accessories.
Paula and John were instrumental in locating just
the right water belt for TP participants, and extending a special TP
price.
Visit them online at www.FootTools.ca.
Mention TP when you’re at their store at 2013
James St in Burlington, and get a runner’s discount on
shoes and apparel.
It's been over two years since Far Samji, owner of
the Burlington
Orthotic Centre (located at 1900
Walker's Line) attended one of my Tread Powerfully®
classes and diagnosed my aching feet en-route. Since then, Far has
worked with countless Tread Powerfully®
walkers and family members to
assess their gaits and put them in the shoe option that will keep those
toes, arches and possibly bunions and corns,
pain-free.
Far is a supporter of our group in countless
ways: providing shoes
to TP instructors, hosting special events, working with the Moon
in June race organizers as the title sponsor
and working to create an amazing competitive walking category
two years in a row.

When you book your appointment, tell them you’re a Tread Powerfully®
participant, and receive 30% off retail prices for shoe gear.
It's been three years since I became a
customer of Plan B Organic Farms (visit them online at www.planborganicfarms.ca),
by purchasing a weekly "share" of certified organic vegetables, salad
greens, herbs and fruit.
Picking up your box from one of their depots or
getting home delivery means that you are supporting this local
Flamborough farm, established in 1997; each week, you get a
little
surprise opening up your box, seeing what combo of items will
be on your menu for the week.
They have updated their operations to include an
online ordering system
which allows you to purchase a one-time share to try it out, or sign-up
for a weekly or bi-weekly delivery.
With any exercise routine, safety is number one
and I've been thinking alot about how most of us TP and train on our
own without identification. I was pondering this one day in class when
one of our own avid TPers, Julie Ellis from Mabel's Labels (www.mabel.ca),
offered a suggestion. She mentioned that their company had a shoe-tag
product that would allow vital information to be attached to each TP
member in an easy and yet stylish way.
