Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.
Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift apart.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

Lace up. Celebrate National Running Day today June 3.


     My local running store is having a running celebration.  They hope to have a group mileage of over 500 miles for the day.  There will be a group run tonight where they will tally everyone's Wednesday miles. I'm heading out to do a slow jog with my dog this AM and will do another tonight with the group.
     How are you celebrating?






THE UNSPOKEN BOND THAT CONNECTS RUNNERS


"Here's what I know about runners. There is an unspoken but deeply felt bond that connects us to one another. We can go from stranger to trusted confidant in the space of a run or an hour gathered in a crowded auditorium. We can share our most intimate thoughts and know that they are protected by the unspoken code of the road. I know that running not only strengthens our bodies, it often fortifies our hearts and minds, conferring an inner resilience that mirrors our physical capabilities. And I have discovered that very often, courage, empathy, and character can be natural by-products of a running life."
