2014-08-27 - Learn from the run

Everything we ever need to know, we can learn from our running. Long term goal planning, delayed gratification, moderation, discipline, meditation, love of the natural world, self-esteem, soul searching and being honest with ourselves for starters, and the list goes on ... Runners make the world a better place, for sure, if everyone ran there would be no time for pettiness, war or hate and the heath care crisis would fade away with each foot fall. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one, maybe someday they will join us, and the world will run as one.

Each step we run offers us the opportunity to be role models, each step gives us a chance to change the world for the better.

Get out the door, run, and make the world a better place,

Randy Step, an admitted obsessed runner who wishes everyone was.
