Surprise Yourself at the Freedom Run

Remember my excitement--and surprise--from last month's Run Lucky at Niketown? I could barely run thanks to a bruised tailbone, but I had so much fun it really didn't matter. And we didn't run that much--only about a mile--so anyone who said they couldn't attend because they don't run, couldn't use that excuse for the evening.

Due to my run struggle at Run Lucky, and inability to round up any troops to join me, I was even more excited when an invite for another Nike event landed in my inbox yesterday. Maybe this time for the Freedom Run, as this run is called, I'd be able to find a few runner souls to run with me. So tomorrow, April 28, come out to Fleet Feet Piper's Alley at 6:30 p.m. for the Freedom Run. Nike Running and Fleet Feet Sports Chicago are teaming up for a special night to introduce the newest member of the Nike Free family, the Free Run+. Think barefoot running but with a little more protection from the elements--and a cool design and colors, too.

In true free style, you'll let your feet do some following on a scavenger run that will take you a spot only the organizers know. Free your mind and your feet will follow, right?

If buffalo wings are involved, I know one runner who'll be with me--I bragged about the Lucky Run's fun to my husband and he was jealous. So who's with me? Photo grabbed from runblogger.com.
