2014-03-26 - Peter Pan had it right

Running is a playful, childlike activity, an escape from what would be considered appropriate adult behavior. I find that when I lock my office door, strip out of the work clothes and into my running, play, clothes for a lunchtime run, I feel like Peter Pan. I dash out through the parking lot and smile as I start to groove on down the road and into the rhythm of the run, unplugged and free. I soon forget about all the stuff that seemed so pressing and suffocating. After a few miles I return a far more awake and productive worker than when I left, ripping through the to-do list at PR pace.

Every day I seem to get a text from someone with a photo of the Running Fit store in the McNamara Terminal at the airport (Near gate 65 and the Tequila bar!) It's a small store selling only apparel and some running accessories, don't expect to find all the usuals :). It's a fun little place to find a unique running outfit to take on the road or to get yourself or someone waiting for you a welcome home gift. If nothing else, a place to kill some time before departure.

Never get old,

Randy Step, an admitted obsessed, ageless runner ... just like you!
