With mornings in the low 40's it's time to put on the long sleeves, it also reminds me that the fall long race season is upon us and ... I am way behind in my training! I'm sure I'm not alone on this, life sometimes gets in the way of our run schedule. Yes, we are getting out the door and putting in the daily runs but perhaps not the long runs or mileage we hoped for, dang. Running is not a sport that we can "cram for the exam", we can only line up with the training we have put in... or not put in. Don't bail on your event! Lining up under-trained guarantees an adventure! We may run some and walk more than some, but if we keep up constant forward progress we will get it done! Yes, our times will be pathetic but nobody really cares, we will party when we finish (hopefully by last call)!
 
Run and get it done,
 
Randy Step, an admitted obsessed runner, with mileage in my log that does not support what I admit to, but I know it to be true.
 
PS: The 5k, 10k, 25k Vasa Trail Run's new date, November 14th could be a challenging northern adventure, yikes, perhaps the "The Iceman Runeth" might fit the description with not a wimp in sight! Join us as we finish up the year with a road trip north and enjoy off season rates! Warm up and celebrate with us as we hit up the wineries and breweries in the Traverse City area, the Dirt Crew and I will share our touring schedule once it's finalized.
 
PS: I will be running in Mexico for a week this winter, join me! https://runningfitevents.webconnex.com/cancun16
