GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - Sports director Jack Doles can't remember the last time he ran outside.

That is, until Saturday. Despite the overwhelming urge to stay in bed, Doles woke up and ran four miles outside with some of his fellow Road Warriors.

"I believe I may have turned a corner in my training for the Fifth Third River Bank Run, because I got up, put on my shoes and running gear, got in the car and joined my new friends in the Gazoom running group," he writes in his blog.

Follow the blog and along with Doles in his quest to complete the 25K on May 8. And check out some of his latest photos and videos, at left.
