2015-04-29 - Let me brag a bit

randy runningLet me brag a bit about the crew here at Running Fit Events and their dedication to creating the greatest running experience anywhere; events you can trust your hard training and goals to. They work crazy schedules, lots of 16 hour+ event weekend days in conditions that are often brutal. They go over every detail for months in advance, looking to find ways to make your experience the best it can be. They are passionate about our sport and all they produce, it is a labor of love and it shows in the outcome. Dawn, Mandy, Anna, Joanna, Gary and Ted are the full time essential players, each with a special set of responsibilities that create something much bigger than the sum of their parts, the magic of race day. I can tell you the reality is far from magic, it's true professionalism and a deep understanding of a quality event from start to finish that they have honed over time. I would be remiss not to introduce and brag a bit about our part time crew who take on the many tedious tasks with little glory, sorting, counting, packing, unpacking and digging out on the morning after. Thank you Jodi, Amy, Dan and Kim.

2015-04-22 - Boston Marathon

randy runningAnother Boston Marathon in the books with 30,000 runners thumbing their noses at terrorism and living life free and Boston Strong. The terrorists failed, we are not terrified. For all of us, every time we head out the door it is a victory, we show the world our great life in America won't be stopped. Kind of like saying, hey all you cowardice punks, you have already lost this war, perhaps you should quit wasting your time and energy and crawl back in your hole.

We run as one,

Randy Step, an admitted obsessed runner who is proud of each and every one of you doing battle out on the roads and trails!
