The benefits we get from the daily run are more than enough to ask from our sport. The additional enjoyment we get from competing in races is like icing on the cake!  What more could we possibly want? How about a meet and greet with an icon of our sport like 4 time Boston and New York City marathon winner Bill Rodgers? Join us this Friday at Running Fit, Ann Arbor West, 5700 Jackson Rd. where Bill Rodgers, who I call the "Peter Pan" of running, will be on hand from 11 AM - 12:30 PM!

More reasons to come on Friday? We'll be having a store wide sale to celebrate the Dexter To Ann Arbor run weekend (Perhaps have Bill sign your new shoes!) Also, author John Farrah (and my dentist) will be signing his new book "Let's pick it up a bit", a memoir, a philosophical look at running and a training guide! You can learn a lot from a guy who was born in Bethlehem, schooled in Nazareth, and has ran over 120 marathons! Come join the fun.

Enjoy it all,

--Randy Step, an admitted obsessed runner, for so many reasons!
