May 12, 2010 - Run Like an Animal!

Yo run gang,

Running gets us down to bedrock. Each run requires basic physical and mental strength just to head out the door. Some days, our body lets us know it really doesn't want to do this, much like dragging an unwilling dog on leash with his paws kicking and dragging. Ahh, but on those days when our bodies are jumping and barking at the door, ready to go ... We marvel at the "X" Games and sports that are called "Extreme", when in reality, there is no more extreme sport than distance running, one that has us heading out, day after day to do battle and keep the edge, heading out regardless of how we feel or what the conditions, knowing that nothing good comes easy and what we will get for our hard work and extreme behavior is good, very good. When race day dawns, hang on to that leash tight and be ready to keep up with a happy, well trained body, pulling us forward to personal greatness. Now, give yourself a pat on the head!

Run like an animal,

Randy Step, an obsessed runner, and extreme athlete, just like you!
