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."
