2015-06-10 - It is a good morning!
"Good morning", a greeting so automatic, but somehow it always rings true, often coming from a passing stranger on the morning run. Every day we can get out is a gift and every day and every running route has something unique to offer. From the excitement, danger and challenge we get from extreme weather days to the rave run perfect run temp days that can only be appreciated by experiencing the wicked ones. The daily struggle to wake early and get out the door is always rewarded, seek and ye shall find. Without the run it is difficult to clear the morning haze, a blah that can leave us in a funk that can last all day and can blur one day into the next ... until we finally run out the door again. Yikes!
It is a good morning!

2015-06-04 - Run and inspire others
Last weekend I got to witness 92 year old Harriette Thompson finishing the San Diego Marathon (her 18th marathon), showing the world that our sport is there for everyone, and giving us hope for a rich and long road ahead for us. My wife Kathy and I were there as honorary Coaches for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team in Training program for the Michigan Chapter, the number one fundraising team at the event, raising over $130,000, thanks to many of you! The amount qualified us to fund a grant for pediatric blood cancer research at the University of Michigan Hospital.
Get out for a run, get out and inspire others!
Randy Step, an admitted obsessed runner, like Harriet, like you!
