2011-08-24 - Consistant and Calming
Are we still in Michigan? The weather and running have been glorious, a nice stretch just in time for the fall mileage build up for those of us training for one of the longer races.
Few things are as consistent and calming as the daily run in this inconsistent world. The housing and stock market boomed and we ran, the housing market and stock market crashed and we ran, the country continues to go to war and we continue to run. During our runs we have the option to contemplate solutions to the world's problems or to escape reality and enjoy playtime. Either way, we finish energized, focused and ready to take on the day! I'm outta here!
Run the world,
Randy Step, an admitted obsessed runner contemplating life's biggest questions, what shoes to grab and what route to take!
PS - I'm getting ready to camp out on the land and set my soul free!
Join me for the most valuable runs (And classic rock) of the year the weekend of September 9th, see runwoodstock.com
Run any or all of the weekend events, a great way to get in marathon training mileage or just a much needed hippy hike and perhaps a bit of Yoga... Peace Out.
PS - Labor Day weekend is the last chance for a summer race road trip!
How about the Cadillac 5K, 10K and Run, Bike Kayak Adventure Triathlon!
Running Fit will be there to time the event, stop by and say hi!
PS: Roadies Needed - Run Woodstock!
On top of all the "thanks" and "you rock" you will get throughout the day, you also get an awesome volunteer shirt, a $30 coupon toward any Running Fit event (includes race shirt) and a great feeling for giving back to your sport!
