national running day!

happy national running day! did you know that? yup, the first wednesday in june.

"a day when runners everywhere declare their passion for running. It is a coast-to-coast celebration of a sport and activity that’s simple, inexpensive, and fun. It’s the perfect way for longtime runners
to reaffirm their love of running and for beginners to kick off a lifetime and life-changing
commitment. National Running Day is a collaborative effort of the foremost running
organizations in the U.S. including Atlanta Track Club, Boston Athletic Association, Chevron
Houston Marathon, Chicago Area Runners Association, Competitor Group, Inc., Little Rock
Marathon, Marine Corps Marathon, New York Road Runners, Oregon Track Club,
Running USA, Twin Cities In Motion, and USA Trac."

me? i ignored my alarm for the early morning run. i shoo-ed away thoughts of going to run some really cool path in a new place with different terrain, interesting scenery. i went without my pacer and expectations. today was about me and my loyal friend, lunch-run-around-my-own-neighborhood. and it was glorious. finding a happy running place is a gift and today we honor that gift! 

i would love to hear about your happy running place... comment or email: klake (at) nays.org. #runningday
