There's a celebratory day for just about everything, everyone and every hobby.... well here's one I can really get behind. National Running Day is this Wednesday, June 5. I actually thought it was today and wished my running group a "happy day" this morning. They never heard of it so no one corrected me. But when I went to make this post and grab a photo, I saw it wasn't until Wednesday. No worries... I'll celebrate it again.
In the last 20 years runners have raised over a billion dollars for great causes in races and events worldwide. This year, National Running Day encourages you to celebrate by making a donation to The One Fund Boston. This fund has already raised over $37 million for victims and families affected by the Boston Marathon tragedy. So while I run for fun and for sport and for my personal 50x50x100 campaign, this is a much bigger calling. So lace up your sneakers on Wednesday, grab a friend and get out there.
