My fellow Runners, Joggers, Woggers: tomorrow (June 6) is National Running Day (in the US)!

I started a similar thread last year, so pardon the deja vu, but feel free to chime it:



[01] Why do you run?

    I run because it's the only time no one can bother me, and I can actually think.

    I will celebrate National Running Day by running. And drinking a beer. Not at the same time ...

    1) i run because i can. it is wonderful to stay in shape and be able to run around and chase after my four monkies. running can be a challenge each and every time out and i love to push myself... it's also great alone time, time to soak up some sun and enjoy the fresh weather.... there are so many reasons i can't list them all!

    2) what am i going to do? run.

    I run now bc it's my therapy. A bad day? Gone after a run. Tired and sore? Gone after a run. Worried about something? Gone or figured out after a run. You catch my drift. :) I no longer find myself built up with stressful emotions bc I'm doing something I really love and taking a time out for just me and no one else.

    Forgot to add; I'm celebrating by starting phase 2 of my 1/2 marathon training. It's a 10K phase for 6 weeks to get me up to 6 miles/1 hr of running. After that phase 3 is the 12 week 1/2 marathon schedule. Can't wait!

    I run to keep in shape, to push myself, and to keep my sanity. My running time is my "me" time.

    I will celebrate with a run...even if it's just a short one...since tomorrow is actually a strength day for me. But HAVE to get some kind of run in on National Running Day! :smile:
