2015-07-01 - Challenge and surprise yourself
The goal of my weekly rant is to get us motivated and out the door, not often talking specifically about my running but of all of the aspects of the sport we share. That said, this is one of those not often times ... In 3 weeks, I'll be running the Speedgoat 50K in Utah, one of the most difficult 31 mile races in the country with over 11,000 ft. of climb. The cool part, my family is also running! My wife Dr. Kathy who is always fit, tough as nails and always humble about it, my son Trevor who has been getting in long, steep, high altitude runs, in conjunction with Running Fit business meetings in Colorado with the "Running Specialty Group", and my daughter Anna, who just cruised through the Dances With Dirt, Gnaw Bone 50K and got in her last long training run at the Charlevoix Marathon last weekend. The truth is, I'll be behind my family if I finish at all due to a shin injury earlier this year but will be thrilled to just start, heck, I have 3 other horses in the race to cheer on!
Test your limits and amaze yourself,
Randy Step, a runner who is blessed, and yes, obsessed.
PS: Join us for a spontaneous trip to the breathtaking bluffs of Devil's Lake, Wisconsin for Dances With Dirt on July 11th! 10K, Half Marathon, Full Marathon, 50K and 50 Mile distances available!
