Herndon lawyer Doug Landau gives a “shout out” to the Potomac River Running stores for helping federal workers with a discount on all purchases made during the government shutdown that began on October 1. Potomac River Running puts on a lot of great running races in Northern Virginia and their sales staff is knowledgeable and friendly.

“The outpouring of support for furloughed workers in the local DC/MD/VA community is heartwarming,” says Landau.  “Furloughed DC Metro area workers have a lot of unexpected time on their hands.  For an athlete, in particular a runner, free time means one thing: MORE TIME TO RUN!  Kudos to Potomac River for helping out.”

If you happen to pass by one of the store’s 9 locations in the DC area, be sure to say thank you for supporting our federal workers!  (Shoppers must present a military or federal employee ID for redemption of 15% discount.)
