<a href="http://runitfast.com/" target="_blank">RUN IT FAST</a> is a running club with some incredibly inspiring endurance athletes. It&#8217;s open to all and will definitely inspire  you to push yourself. When you join, you get a shirt, race discounts , but most importantly you become a part of the community with some amazing ultra runners. The founder, Joshua Holmes wrote a blog earlier this week called The Unspoken Rules of Being a BADASS: A Runner&#8217;s Guide. To read the full list, click <a href="http://runitfast.com/2014/09/16/the-unspoken-rules-of-being-a-badass/" target="_blank">HERE</a>, but these are a few of my favorites&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li><em>First rule of being a badass. A badass does not talk about being a badass. Period.</em></li>
<li><em>A badass does not try to be a badass or look tough. A badass simply is a badass. A badass stays true to themselves, always. This means being themselves for themselves, and not being fake to impress others..</em></li>
<li><em>A badass never takes him or herself too seriously</em></li>
</ul>
