2013-05-15 - Run Bucks! |
|
Yo run gang,
May 15, 2013
 We rely on our bodies to pursue our sport; to the runner, the body and
mind are one. I believe this gives us a huge advantage over the
sedentary Americans, those who take the body for granted, often,
ignoring diet and health in pursuit of what? Success and happiness? All
the intelligence and wealth in the world cannot give us what running
has. Take a look at the physical condition of leaders of industry,
Washington politicians and corporate ladder climbers, many seem to have
sacrificed their bodies to that success. The moral of the story, a
degree from Harvard, Yale, UM or State, and all the ambition in the
world, without the understanding of a decent 10K personal best (Or at
least a passion for some sport) won't get them what we've got!
Run Bucks!
Running Fit is launching a very cool loyalty program this week, you now
will earn in store cash with your purchases, get special members only
deals, and personalized offers. I just want a hat with the Run Bucks
Logo! (I'll work on this!) Click the link on the right to find out how
to opt in and start collecting run bucks!
Live, love, learn, earn, run,
Randy Step, an admitted obsessed runner who feels running has given me ... everything.
PS: I love runs that make us smile, join the Running Fit crew in Canton, MI on June 15th at the Liberty Fest 5K and 10K as we attempt to once again break 
the Guinness Book World Record for the most people dressed up as the
Statue of Liberty! When we combine silliness and sport, we get to live
like Peter Pan, with no need to ever grow up! Enter today; click here!

Wayne County Presents - Heroes Half Marathon and 5K
|
|
Not often in life are we given the chance to be heroic, please join
us as we run in honor of the fallen First Responders who have given all,
for us.
All proceeds from this event will go for the creation
and maintenance of the First Responders Memorial to be erected at Edward
Hines Drive and Haggerty Rd. It will be dedicated race day.
First
Responder divisions will have the opportunity to create their own teams
for camaraderie and competition. Individuals will be invited to sign-up
on their own to increase the crowd support of this event.
Two
weeks out from a Michigan marathon weekend (Detroit and Grand Rapid's)
makes this a great opportunity for racer's "in-training" to enjoy a fun,
supported last "long run." |

2013-05-01 - This Running Life |

Yo run gang,

It's a busy but fun, running life that we lead. While most Americans make pretty poor choices to use up their leisure time, mostly as spectators and watching life go by on TV, we are outside and doing it! We are happy to fill up our calendars with fitness goals and commit! Here are some great choices.
Feeling spontaneous? Make the easy 5 hour drive to Nashville, Indiana with the Running Fit event crew for the Dances With Dirt Trail races on May 11th. Billed as the world's toughest 10K! Nashville, IN is an artisan town with over 200 artsy shops in the mountains of Indiana (Seriously, mountains!) go to dwdgnawbone.com
 The kids stuff is the best stuff! Girls on the Run 5k, Sunday, May 19th, is the culmination of Girls on the Run's season. More than 1,200 girls ages 8-14, will celebrate their "girl power" by running 3.1 miles with their coaches, families, friends, teachers and community members. This event is open to anyone who wants to run, walk, or skip to the finish line! The Girls on the Run 5k is a non-competitive, celebration 5k, and all finishers will receive a medal. girlsontherunsemi.org/events/GOTR-events.php for more information about volunteering or to register.
A great summer road trip is to the Traverse City Cherry Festival, a great chance to take family and friends north, while you sneak in a race! The 5K, 15K event is July 6th. If you win, you'll get to ride in the parade in the Running Fit VW bug convertible! www.cherryfestival.org/festival-of-races
By committing to a long run in the fall, you insure consistency to your summer training. My absolute favorite event, Run Woodstock, is September 6-8, a classic rock weekend to camp out on the land and set your soul free. We all need this weekend in the woods! 5K to 100 miles, dig it. runwoodstock.com
The heroic actions by the first responders at the tragic events in Boston this spring reminds us that every day, Police, Fire and EMS are out their risking their lives for all of us. I'm hoping you will join us on October 5th for the "Heroes on Hines Half Marathon and 5K". The proceeds will go to build and support a memorial to local, fallen first responders, a place for families and the community to mourn and celebrate the lives of these heroes. Please be a Hero on Hines! Please enter today at heroesonhines.com

Live, love, run,
Randy Step, an admitted obsessed runner, loving this running life.
