2012-01-18 - I'm Impressed!
Yo run gang
The demographics of runners are pretty impressive, I guess that means I'm writing this to a smart, college educated, self directed, hard working, affluent group that understands commitment. Hmmm, that puts the pressure on me, especially as far as my spelling and grammar are concerned, dang. You do what you do with little fanfare or recognition; that said, I'm here to say I'm proud of the running community and to be a part of it. We run side by side in races with a quiet but special bond, knowing exactly what it took to get where we are.

When we do finish a race it's always nice to get a bit of bling
for our efforts. Medals, age group awards and T-shirts that let the world know we are serious endurance athletes! (Yes, that includes those of us who survive a 5K, something the average American can't come close to, be proud!) So, to add to that bling, in every Running Fit event this year, you will receive a little something extra, a custom designed finisher's pin made for each event, this will be in addition to the medals or whatever we normally give out, a priceless collector's item to dress up your wardrobe
The first couple pins of the year? The Bigfoot Snowshoe race in TC and the Super 5K in Novi on Super Bowl Sunday morning!
Speak with your feet,
--Randy Step, an obsessed runner, who is proud of your passion!

2011-12-07 - Cowboy Hat?
Yo run gang
Randy, Steve and Trevor are in Austin, Texas this week at "The Running Event", the convention for running specialty stores. Randy had this to say about it a few years ago:
It's a convention unlike any other. Picture a convention that includes daily runs and a "Shoe and sock bar", a place where you can stop in anytime and grab any shoe and socks by any manufacturer and go out and run in them. This morning we raced 5K, the field included several Olympians and a who's who of sponsored athletes and running celebrities, perhaps one of the fastest races in the country ... on a Wednesday morning! Yes our jobs can be a lot of fun and yes, we're lucky to live and love what we do.
Run forever,
Randy Step, an obsessed runner who ran 5K in a cowboy hat today, because I didn't want to look like a tourist!
