October 22, 2008 - What a glorious weekend in the D
Yo Run Gang,
What a glorious weekend in the D. Congrats to all who accomplished their goals on such a beautiful running day. I didnt run Freep but came up with my own spectator event, laying out a 10 mile run course that allowed me to see the leaders at several points during the race. You cant run them all but you can always dream up new ways to enjoy the sport and get in your miles!
Frost tonight! Running tip of the week, dont run naked! Actually, I find that by over dressing, it makes it easier to get out the door on these cold days. Start your run with a small loop so you can drop off the extra layer as you warm up.
Along with the cold comes the dark, it figures. Thanks to the new L.E.D. headlamps, running in the dark aint as bad as it used to be. In fall and winter, for those of you who continue to run trails, I suggest a hand held flashlight in addition to the headlamp to help spot those roots. My choice of headlamp, the Princeton Tec, 4 L.E.D. lamp, (Shameless plug) $39.99 at Running Fit!
Light the night,
Randy Step, an obsessed runner, be it winter or summer
