Happy National Running Day all! June 2, 2010 is the 2nd Annual National Running Day; it is a national initiative by organizations across the country to get the word out about running. This is a unified effort to promote running as a healthy, easy, and accessible life-changing form of exercise.
From the east coast to the west, from the upper Midwest to to the deep south, everyone can benefit from starting a running program, and there’s nothing like starting a lifestyle change today.
Some of the national clubs collaborating to make this possible is the Atlanta Track Club, Boston Athletic Association, Chevron Houston Marathon, Chicago Area Runners Association, The Competitor Group, Little Rock Marathon, Marine Corps Marathon, New York Road Runners, Oregon Track Club, Running USA, Twin Cities Marathon, Inc., and USA Track & Field.
It is not necessary to be located in a big city to participate, nor do you need to be wearing tight-fitting clothes to get out and run. Running is all about and getting out and experiencing the uplifting benefits of this dynamic sport.
There are several places online where you can talk about your National Running Day experiences. Beyond the opportunities here on RunToFinish, you can make a post on National Running Day’s facebook page.
I make running part of my life and I know I am better for it. Everyone will experience trials and tribulations in their lives, and it is just how you handle the adverse situations, and how you deal with the circumstances. I encourage you to get out and start enjoying the healthy benefits of running.
