June 3, National Running Day, how convenient that while on our THPL journey we can celebrate days such days as this. National Running Day, held annually on the first Wednesday in June, is a day when runners everywhere declare their passion for running. Since 2009, the country's foremost running organizations have worked together to celebrate running by encouraging runners across the US to plan a run, bring along a friend, spread the word about running, sign up for a race, set a new goal and just bring running to the fore in one’s life. Running truly has become a very accessible sport and one that brings with it so many benefits, social, physical, mental, that at some level we all should have it as part of our THPL repertoire. What is amazing is that through a real focus on running the number of runners, in the US, has increased from 45 million in 2008 to 65 million in 2014. An impressive number for sure. So, on behalf of our day I commit to running 13 miles and enjoying every one of them! How about you?
Loving life, when running….what else?
