Yo Run Gang,

It is a busy running life that sometimes requires choices. A week from Saturday, September 27, is 3 weeks out from the Detroit Free Press Marathon; time for the traditional last long run. Running Fit offers a traffic free training run of up to 20 miles, starting at Nankin Mills on the Edward Hines Dr. Its a great race simulation run with several hundred runners, a great way to get ready for the Detroit Marathon or Half Marathon.
