Happy National Running Day!

Today's the day...



What are you doing to celebrate National Running Day? Are you meeting your run group for your weekly run? Inviting a non-running friend or co-worker to join you? Taking your family out for a jog after dinner? Trying a new workout or route? Maybe you're participating in a National Running Day event, like the NYRR Young Professionals Committee Fun Run and Happy Hour! (details here)

National Running Day is meant to encourage people to get involved, get moving and live a healthy life. To show people that running can change their life. (and that means running at any pace). I hope that through this blog, I'm spreading that word every day. Because truly, running has changed my life in more ways than I could have ever imagined. I've accomplished goals I never thought possible; running a 5k, then a 10k, and eventually a marathon! I have gained confidence and strength, learning about myself along the way. I have met friends. I have learned how to live a healthier, happier life. And I continue to learn these things every day. Even when I'm not running, because I'm still a runner!
