Yo run gang,

The St. Pats runs are a sure sign the spring race season is open. Im sure many of you took advantage and shook out the winter legs. Whatever pace you ran, it should only excite you to know that you will get faster as the season wears on, but only if you stay pain free. Run smart! Dont run into increasing pain on a run, just bail, there is no room for ego in this sport. Remember, ice is the miracle drug, post run, take the time to ice even the smallest twinge, especially the ones that only hurt in the morning and go away as you warm up and run. Ice works (I repeat the important stuff!)

For those of you who are into the barefoot running debate, check out this link, I love this stuff, its better than reading a novel! http://www.podiatry-arena.com/podiatry-forum/showthread.php?t=43282

How come every time I head out in new running shoes, I find mud?

Run Smart,

Randy Step, an obsessed runner who hits every puddle!
