June 01 is National Running Day, at least in the US. To learn more go to http://www.runningday.org/site/.

I thought I would 'borrow' an idea on their site which is to have fellow joggers, woggers, runners, sprinters, dashers fill in the blank to the sentence below. Share your reasons, inspirations, etc. for running.


I RUN _____________.


Here, I'll start. Sorry, not very original...

I RUN very slowly.
I RUN to be outdoors.
I RUN for FUN.

    I run...the vacumn cleaner.

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: That's calories that the Roomba can list, unless people are being judgemental about counting or not-counting vacuuming! (Just joking, don't want to go THERE. For Pete's sake we have no idea if the Roomba listed activity level as Sedentary or not :noway: :embarassed: .)
