The purpose of my weekly rant is primarily to motivate us all to get out the door, a reminder of what is so precious about the daily run. Hopefully, something in today's email does that for us.
The weather sucks, perhaps knowing you will be running in the sun for a week February 6 - 13th from a 5 Star all inclusive with a bunch of fun people will help you get out the door this winter so you can be ready. Even your non-running friends and family will love this trip! Deadline for sign up is December 3rd. Email This email address is being protected from spambots.

You're a runner? Don't you worry that you are ruining your knees? I hate continuously hearing this same dumb comment from the lazy cynics that don't want to hear that Running is actually is good for our joints. Have them Google "running is good for your knees" and read the plethora of data out there!
I've been asked by several of you why RF Events uses the term half marathon if I consider it such a dumb term. We use it because it is so widely used ... even if it is stupid and wrong, it's like calling a 5K a Half 10K. There is a grass roots movement sweeping the world to change the name to "Pikermi", a town in Greece half way between Sparta and Marathon! We hope to see you this spring at the Martian Pikermi on April 18th or the Running Fit Trail Pikermi on April 25th! For a list of lots of great Pikermi choices go to our event calendar!
Run with attitude,
Randy Step, an admitted obsessed runner whose knees are better now than 30 years ago!
