August 5, 2009 - Invite (Trick!) a non running friend to enter a 5K with you.

Yo run gang,

Last week on vacation I had one of those magic days where my family all ran together in a 5K from beginning to end. Running truly is a gift, and one that we can share. Invite (Trick!) a non running friend to enter a 5K with you. Enter a race that has walkers and promise you will stay with them from beginning to end, walking, running, whatever. Explain that the intimidation of entering an event is a huge obstacle. One that they will realize DOES NOT EXIST once they enter and see its just people of every shape and age, walking, running, plodding and having fun! A simple 5K can be a catalyst in creating a life long runner.

To continue on that thread, I have the perfect event for you to share, and a chance to wear that little back dress! Im always looking for an excuse to wear my tux, so join me Wednesday, September 9th at the Red Carpet Run, a dress up run with Glitz, Glamour, Paparazzi and Star Treatment! Starting with a pre race strut around the Red Carpet to check out your fellow dashing dashers before the run. Finish on the Red Carpet where you will receive a custom finishers Champagne flute and party and dance the night away! Check out: www.redcarpetrun.com and trick, talk, your friends into the fun!

For those of you in Travers City this Friday, check out the sidewalk sale at Running Fit on Front Street! For the rest of us stuck downstate Get out and run!
