November 18, 2009 - Time to "Jiggle the fat"!
Yo run gang,
By now we should have all made friends with darkness. Ill be heading to the trails tonight looking like the Vegas strip with my GoMotion chest mount light attached to a backpack and my 4 LED Princeton Tech head lamp. In our simple sport, its fun to have a few toys to play with!
Its time to jiggle the fat (I believe that is the technical holiday season running terminology)! The sure way to avoid the party weight gain is to be training for something. Commit to a long spring race now, as you know, busy people do everything, the rest do Nothing, so, dont miss a single party or single training run! Martian Marathon, Half Marathon and 10k are April 10th, not to mention the fun races along the way to keep you consistent. Next week, kick off the training with the Detroit Turkey Trot 10K, www.theparade.org/turkeytrot follow it up Dec 5th at The Holiday Hustle 5k, www.runholiday5k.com then, www.runsuperbowl.com.
Run, but dont miss the fun,

2011-07-06 - Our Daily Run
Some days are diamonds, some days are stone. (We miss you John Denver.)
As I've said many times, enjoy every healthy running day. The reason for this of course is that we are not as bullet proof as we'd like to be and that we are only as strong as the weakest link. What seems like the stupidest little issue, be it a pain, head cold, stomach issue or whatever, can derail our carefully designed training plan and crush the dream of an upcoming race ... Or the most valuable thing of all, our daily run. Dang!
Run smart and smile,
Randy Step, an admitted obsessed runner who takes nothing for granted.
