2011-11-23 - Be Prepared
Way too often I hear the words," I wish I had my running stuff with me". It may be at a conference where there's an unexpected 2 hour break or at an airport where a plane is delayed by hours or when a car won't start or dies on the road 5 miles from where we need to be in an hour. In this modern life, we rely on things to work and happen way too much. Yes, cars are more reliable and the cell phone is our new answer to getting a ride or killing time but... Getting in an unexpected run is often memorable and rewarding. I've had some interesting runs from airports, conventions and cars that won't start, as a runner, I'm sure you've had them too. That said, far more times when the opportunity arises, the answer is "I wish I had my running stuff".
Run when you have the chance,
Randy Step, an admitted obsessed runner, who once ran 12 miles to his home at 2 AM when his car died on M-14 after doing inventory, a unforgettable night run.
Naughty or nice, walker or runner, come breathe in the December night air and give back to others. A silly, hilly out and back course that will take in the neighborhood light displays and give you a chance to see the flashing gang ahead or behind you!
Flashing gang? Yes! Register early and the first 500 get a choice of some flashing or jingling flare (to be picked up at packet pick up).
This charity event donates $5 of your entry fee to local Dexter charities. Bring canned or non perishable food items for the needy and get a raffle ticket for each item! Raffle items from Running Fit to include 2 $50 gift cards, 4 $25 gift cards, gloves, hats, bags and more!
