2013-05-08 - Women run the world
Yo run gang,
May 1, 2013
When it comes to running, women are in the majority, entering more races and buying more shoes than men. From observing my wife and women friends, the social aspect of running plays a bigger role in the sport than what I see on the guys' side of things, I have no specific statistics on this but from a study of one, I put in a lot more miles by myself. I know that the times I do make a plan to run with others, I find it motivating and easier to get out the door ... but rarely do it, perhaps a guy thing, not making plans. Time to learn from the women, as usual!
That said, It's time for "Ladies night out" at Running Fit, click the link on the right for days, stores and times! Meanwhile, I should call for someone to go for a run, but I'm sure I won't!

Yo Run gang,
The daily run keeps us fit and sane but lining up for a race fulfils our competitive needs, not so much competing against others but to test ourselves and see who we are and where we stand. The race in turn feeds additional motivation and value to the daily run, a perfect combination to a fulfilled life. Sweet!
The Legend Trail run is Saturday, the Legend is unique because we do not have an entry limit like our many sold-out Running Fit Trail events, so you can be spontaneous and join me Saturday morning to test yourself over 5 or 10 miles of beautiful trail! Enter at runlegend.com, the forecast is looking perfect! Bring the family for a day at the beach. Not up to 5 miles or just want to experience a trail event and check it out?

You'll get a Dirt Crew Cap, a great shirt and a $30 credit for a future event!

Yo run gang,
Believe it or not, this obsessed runner has a treadmill but I only use it when the weather is so nasty that even I wont go out. Im happy to report; I have run on it once in 3 years and hope not to need it again this winter! Get out there!
The holiday week is busy but for most of us, the insanity is behind us and getting in the run just became a lot easier, especially on days off work! The best way to celebrate? In my case, with a very neglected Long run!
Enjoy every healthy day,
Randy Step, an obsessed runner heading out the door, today and everyday!
