Run With It in Fort Walton Beach is celebrating 10 years in business.  For those of you who may not know, Run With It started in Navarre at the Publix shopping plaza. They had an opportunity for more space and moved to downtown Fort Walton Beach and have kept growing. They are the best place to buy running or walking shoes and accessories. They also have awesome fitness clothes.  I bought a pair of running shoes there and my daughter took them – never to be seen again until it was time to replace them after several marathons.
