2014-07-16 - Just Run

randy hippieMy body likes to go for a run a couple hours after I wake up. This usually works out fine on the day of an event but on a normal day with the time constraints of life, I go through the usual torture, head games and trickery to get up and drag myself out the door just minutes after waking. A couple miles into the run I usually feel awake and wonderfully alive, always making the torture of getting out the door worthwhile ... Knowing this and going through the same scenario day after day you would think I would just skip the drama and run out the door. DUH

On days I plan an evening run, I often get home brain dead and tired. It amazes me how going out for a run slaps me awake and leaves me exhilarated and content. Running is truly a miracle drug.

Don't think about it, just run,

Randy Step, an obsessed runner who thinks about the run way too much before heading out the door ... Dang.

P.S. - Looking to get out for a fun trail run? Join us August 2nd in Laingsburg, MI for THE LEGEND 5 mile, 10 mile and 13.1 mile! The course circles the lakes in a beautiful lightly hiked and biked area of Michigan, what could be better!
