Yo run gang,

We are fragile, we are invincible, we are warriors and we are pacifists, we run alone and we run as one ... I'd say this running gig gives us much of what we need, enough that we have some to share. Amen.

These are some lively days indeed, I wake up ready to run into the cool morning mist ... and fight the instinct to stop to rub my head on a tree, fall, bring it on! That said, join me Saturday Morning October 6th at Wiard's orchard in Ypsilanti as we run 5k or 10K through farms and fields at RUN SCREAM RUN! The perfect fall run through Michigan's number one horror theme park! OK, I admit, the reality is that is that it all seems cute, harmless and fun in the light of day, OK by me! We also run through the country fair with its corn maze, petting zoo and U-pick apples to round out a perfect fall color run! And yes, you can win prizes by having a great costume, running fast, or both! Enter today at runscreamrun.com.

Run Scream Run,

Randy Step, an obsessed runner diggin' the change of seasons ... and praying for Amy.

PS: A follow up on one of Michigan's premier athletes, Amy Gluck, who was struck by a truck while training just over a week ago: Amy seems to be trying to come out of the coma, she has opened her eyes a bit, moved her arm and may have tried to speak, all very good signs but all so real and she is far from out of the woods. Your positive thoughts, prayers and support can only help. Thank you.
