Happy 1️⃣2️⃣th Workaversary to Ralph!
We are so thankful for every day that we get to work with our music-loving, former-ultra-running, beach-chasing friend, Ralph. He started as a customer, became an employee, and is now part of our family.
Working in retail, we understand and embrace that every customer has a story. And so do our employees. We are so thankful to be a part of Ralph’s story, through the fun chapters, the hard pages, and everything in-between.
Ralph, tell us a little more about yourself:
What was your first pair of running shoes that you remember owning?
👟My first pair of running shoes were the Nike Structure. My favorite was the Structure 18, I still have a brand new pair in the box.
What is something you are surprisingly good at?
👨🍳One thing I learned I’m surprisingly good at is cooking. I’ve been cooking more, following recipes, and I do have to say it all tastes pretty good.
What is one piece of running or workout advice you wish you had known sooner?
⏱️I wish I would’ve learn not to go out too fast. My first marathon I got lost in the excitement and crashed late in the race. My biggest advice to first time marathoners is hold just your pace and let everyone go, you’ll catch up to them.
Whether you’ve sat at the fit bench with Ralph, shared some miles (or some beers), or bonded over music, you probably left with a smile on your face and we are so grateful for these past 12 years and beyond!
We 💚 you, Ralph!
