For those of us who don't normally watch TV, it sure is odd to be sitting in front of one watching the fittest people in the world compete in the Summer Olympics at sports we know little or nothing about, but here we are, and loving it!

For many of us runners, our sport is mostly personal, we follow our own progress,  training and personal records, not the athletes at the top of the game, but here we are during the Olympic year, learning their names, the hardships and training they have gone through to be on the world stage, and cheering them on like personal friends.

Time is precious during the games; polish your time management skills and get the run in. I won't take any more of your precious time!

Run, watch, learn, run,

Randy Step, an obsessed runner who can't wait for the distance running to begin!
