October, the sweet spot of the running year. It gets no better than a fall color, country road run with the birds and squirrels cheering us on. October is also a great month for spooky nonsense and dressing silly, combine that with running and the stress of life takes a back seat for a while. Join me at Run Scream Run this Saturday at Wiard's Orchard in Ypsilanti, a 5K, 10K or 1 Mile fall color run through pumpkins, apples, rolling fields and a finish through Michigan's premier haunted attraction, as fun as a run can get. The perfect sharpening run for those of us running the Freep the next weekend. Run or volunteer, the link is here!
 
Run, Scream, Run,

PS: The running community lost one of its best last week to brain cancer, Linda Hartzman was a brave, gutsy runner, volunteer and mother of two beautiful young daughters. She lived life to the fullest right up till the end and her courage and strength inspired all who she touched. https://www.youcaring.com/medical-fundraiser/linda-s-fight-against-brain-cancer/220931#.Vg05xctpT08.facebook
