2015-10-14 - Yikes, it's Detroit Freep Week!
Yikes, its the Detroit Freep Marathon week! For those of you who put in the long hard miles all summer and will toe the line this Sunday for the full or half marathon, congratulations! All the work is done and the marathon will just be icing on the cake, enjoy. For those of you who did not get in your training miles but are still going to line up Sunday, you will be doing all the work on race day but you will get it done ... you just might not be able to dance. For those of us on the marathon side lines, we are envious of your dedication to training and you inspire us to perhaps consider the marathon or half marathon next. Stop by the Running Fit and Running Fit Events booth and say hi! We'll be handing out magnet calendars with next year's events so you can plan your year.
Get excited, stay excited,
Randy Step, an admitted obsessed runner, who is running 13.1 miles at the Freep ... And will not be dancing well after.

2015-10-07 - Run, Scream, Run
October, the sweet spot of the running year. It gets no better than a fall color, country road run with the birds and squirrels cheering us on. October is also a great month for spooky nonsense and dressing silly, combine that with running and the stress of life takes a back seat for a while. Join me at Run Scream Run this Saturday at Wiard's Orchard in Ypsilanti, a 5K, 10K or 1 Mile fall color run through pumpkins, apples, rolling fields and a finish through Michigan's premier haunted attraction, as fun as a run can get. The perfect sharpening run for those of us running the Freep the next weekend. Run or volunteer, the link is here!
Run, Scream, Run,
Randy Step, an admitted obsessed runner who is still sitting in sweaty run gear as I write this, and still feeling the mellow buzz of my country road run
PS: The running community lost one of its best last week to brain cancer, Linda Hartzman was a brave, gutsy runner, volunteer and mother of two beautiful young daughters. She lived life to the fullest right up till the end and her courage and strength inspired all who she touched. https://www.youcaring.com/medical-fundraiser/linda-s-fight-against-brain-cancer/220931#.Vg05xctpT08.facebook
