I just got home from my run and expected to see droves of people pounding the pavement out there with me. After all, isn’t today supposed to be the biggest training day of the year for a runner? I was disappointed to see nothing more than the usual Wednesday night crowd on this beautiful, breezy National Running Day. I was even more disappointed that I missed out on all of the killer sales that the running stores were having today, but my running partner and I did enjoy a feel-good run (to clarify, the “feel good” part comes after the run, but it’s so worth it). I hope you have a running partner too- they make a world of difference!
National Running Day is described as “a national initiative of the major organizations within the running industry to join forces in an unprecedented unified effort to nationally promote running as a healthy, easy, and accessible form of exercise. From New York to San Diego, the day will celebrate the benefits of running as part of a healthy and active lifestyle aimed at combating some of today’s most pressing health issues.” If you missed National Running Day, no sweat (pun intended)- make up for it tomorrow. Heck, why not buy yourself a new pair of running shoes in honor of the special day (I’ll take any excuse I can get). Grab a buddy and get out there and celebrate!
