February 11, 2009 - I got new running shoes today!

Yo Run Gang,

Ahhhh, running in shorts! Yesterday gave me a bad case of spring fever, somehow I better get back in the winter mind set before Michigan slaps me silly Is it really only February?

I got new running shoes today! You may be thinking, big deal; the guy owns a running store for gosh sakes. True, but I always put in 300 miles in the shoes I run in before I ditch them, so as I close in on the magic 300 number I start getting excited and into shoe shopping mode. A simple pleasure in our simple sport and new shoes always help get me out the door. Hmmm I guess that means you should buy new shoes when the weather gets bad!

I just came across my misplaced DVD movie Without Limits (On the life of Steve Prefontane), my favorite running movie of all times. Now, I get to plan a winter movie night, curl up in a blanket and enjoy, another of those simple pleasures! If you have not seen it, or have not seen it in a while, get out and rent it (Find it) this weekend! A Warner Brothers film.

I just heard the weather, wind gust up to 50 mph how can I put a positive spin on that I think Ill head downwind and for a PR!

Run like the wind,
Randy Step, an obsessed runner, about to get my new shoes wet and dirty, yeah!
