2015-10-21 - The Ice Man Runneth!
The only part I don't like about long running events is the taper and the recovery, they cut into the enjoyment of the daily run. I'm writing this the day after the Freep, a beautiful fall day and I'm too sore to get out there, dang. The season is about to wind down with the serious races behind us but I do look forward to the fun races like the Holiday Hustle 5K on Saturday December 12th and Super 5K February 7th, races that keep us motivated to run through the winter. That said, there is one last trail run, the Vasa 5k, 10K, and 25K in Traverse City on November 14th. A fun off- season road trip to what is sure to be a cold, rugged challenge, without a wimp in site! Soon to be referred to as "The Ice Man Runneth!" Join me, then we will deserve some easy days.
Train, taper, race, recover, train,

2015-10-14 - Yikes, it's Detroit Freep Week!
Yikes, its the Detroit Freep Marathon week! For those of you who put in the long hard miles all summer and will toe the line this Sunday for the full or half marathon, congratulations! All the work is done and the marathon will just be icing on the cake, enjoy. For those of you who did not get in your training miles but are still going to line up Sunday, you will be doing all the work on race day but you will get it done ... you just might not be able to dance. For those of us on the marathon side lines, we are envious of your dedication to training and you inspire us to perhaps consider the marathon or half marathon next. Stop by the Running Fit and Running Fit Events booth and say hi! We'll be handing out magnet calendars with next year's events so you can plan your year.
Get excited, stay excited,
Randy Step, an admitted obsessed runner, who is running 13.1 miles at the Freep ... And will not be dancing well after.
PS: HO, HO, GO! Everybody's favorite holiday themed hustle around the charming City of Dexter, MI is BACK! Registration is now open for the Holiday Hustle 5K and 1 Mile! Finisher medals for 5K finishers and a custom knit beanie to all entrants!
