I started working at SDRI a little over a year ago. I have run numerous 1/2 marathons a competed in several triathlons as well. I am currently training for the Holcomb Valley 50k coming this June. Check back frequently as I hope to answer as many questions as possible about the wonderful world of running.

Emily has been a long time runner with dozens of races under her belt from 5K to Marathon distance. She also brings the unique perspective of being able to balance a family while pursuing her athletic endeavors.
Originally from the East Coast, I moved to San Diego in early 2003. I've always had a love of running but became an avid runner in San Diego. My favorite spots range from Mission Bay to the PCT and Mission Trails. My favorite races to compete in are half marathon and 10K.
Les is the newest member of the SDRI family starting 2012. We are happy to have him as a part of our team!
Hello, I'm Katie. I love working here at San Diego's most favorite and personable running store. Along with running crazy trails, I enjoy fitting shoes to anyone who's willing to get out on the pavement or dirt to take up the sport of running!
I'm Rio, the official SDRI shop dog! I was adopted by SDRI staff member Emily from the shelter in July of 2010. They think I'm a 2 year old terrier mix, but I prefer to call myself a pure bred mutt.
