The second thing that we are seeing is our F Charm running shoes from ASICS, Nike, New Balance, people like Under Armour, they are performing well. So there is a resurgence with physical fitness and more people are running and working out. And we G Charm seeing very good success there. And if you haven't worn a pair of these lightweight running I suggest that you go out and buy a pair, because they are just great shoes.
So the running category is one that we are excited about and it's one of the reasons why we feel -- to your comment about accelerating comps -- that we feel good about this spring. Last year we were not positioned as well in running. We are much H Charm positioned with running than we were a year ago, both in terms of shoes and apparel, and that gives us an opportunity that we didn't have.
At the same time, to Bob's question, we see a strong basketball business. So you put strong basketball with running and improvement in apparel; we I Charm got a lot of legs to the stool that are working very well for us. And so we are selling those lightweight running both for runners but also for people who don't intend to run, and that has helped that category.
