Apparently, the first Wednesday in June is National Running Day - happy belated Running Day! According to runningday.org, it's a day when "runners everywhere declare their passion for running." The website has all kinds of info - group runs, fundraising, ways to celebrate and deals on select races/gear, so it's worth a visit. They also sell t-shirts where you can fill in the blank on this phrase "I run ______". Mine would read "I run to keep this a 10."
I did indeed take a short run on the holiday as I am trying to get back on the good foot after the race in April. It was a nice jog - not as nice as the ones I took on the beach last week - but it was nice to get out and enjoy the weather and scenery. I actually witnessed a cat fight - literally - a couple of neighborhood cats were fighting it out. Running can be so entertaining!
Anyway, on a day when runners everywhere were logging a few easy miles, I thought I would share this post a fellow runner shared with me about the energy runners generate: http://www.runner.com/the-power-of-running/.. If you consider how much energy runners expend on a regular basis, how much do you think we generated yesterday?
