WHAT IS GLOBAL RUNNING DAY?

"Global Running Day is a day for people around the world to celebrate the joys of running. Participation is easy—just pledge to take part in some type of running activity on June 1, 2016. It can be a solo lap around the block, a long run with friends, or even a game of tag with your kids. The key is to share your passion for the sport and inspire others to get moving."

If you know me, you know I love running. I started running in September 2015, when I was on a walk, and I felt an uncontrollable urge to go faster. I could only run 500 metres, and I was knackered, but I was hooked! Now, this week, I've run 60 km.

Maybe you'll love running too if you give it a try.

Join up at these links if you like, or just post in this thread, and let us know how you go!

    Thanks for letting me know!!!! I definitely will participate. New runner since January and I just did my very first 5K in the extreme heat at Ottawa Race Weekend this past Saturday! I placed 47/121 runners in my age category (60-64) but my overall time was poor due to the heat...we are not used to such extreme temps here at this time of year. 43:35 lol but I was happy to run and complete it!!!!
