March 25, 2009 - Randy's gone missing....
Yo Run Gang,
You may find this hard to believe, the Head Goat, Randy Step the obsessed runner, has been missing today for many hours in Gnaw Bone Indiana where he is tweaking the course for the May 9th race. He claims to be alive and well, living on the crumbling edge and firing on all cylinders. He just got a cell and called in to say he is having the time of his life in the wilderness but is just not sure where he is. He says that 10 hour charge on the Garmin doesnt cut it but the weather is beautiful and not to worry. With only 35,000 acres and armed with 4 Strawberry banana GUs, he will make his way out in time to write next weeks obsessed email. See www.danceswithdirt.com and click on Gnaw Bone, youll get the idea.
Run smart,
Helen, the Head of I.T at Running Fits Mission Control
2012-05-30 - Benefits
The benefits we get from the daily run are more than enough to ask from our sport. The additional enjoyment we get from competing in races is like icing on the cake! What more could we possibly want? How about a meet and greet with an icon of our sport like 4 time Boston and New York City marathon winner Bill Rodgers? Join us this Friday at Running Fit, Ann Arbor West, 5700 Jackson Rd. where Bill Rodgers, who I call the "Peter Pan" of running, will be on hand from 11 AM - 12:30 PM!
More reasons to come on Friday? We'll be having a store wide sale to celebrate the Dexter To Ann Arbor run weekend (Perhaps have Bill sign your new shoes!) Also, author John Farrah (and my dentist) will be signing his new book "Let's pick it up a bit", a memoir, a philosophical look at running and a training guide! You can learn a lot from a guy who was born in Bethlehem, schooled in Nazareth, and has ran over 120 marathons! Come join the fun.
Enjoy it all,
--Randy Step, an admitted obsessed runner, for so many reasons!
