I’m pretty excited that TODAY is National Running Day! I mean, we get a day just to ourselves??!! That’s awesome!
Reasons why I’m excited that it’s National Running Day:
a) I LOVE TO RUN! National Running Day or not, I was planning on running after work –now I’ll be running with a purpose.
b) I have a good feeling that a lot of people will be running today = great motivation and more people I can smile/wave to.
c) We, runners, get a day to call our own. It makes me feel pretty cool and important.
d) (Did I mention) I love to run!

Okay, so even if you don’t consider yourself a runner, you can still participate. Here are a few ideas: take a run around the block, run one lap around a local high school track or chase your kids around the park. Running is running – especially on National Running Day.
I’m headed out for 6 miles today. Have fun running – and cheers (to my fellow runners)!
Yo! Melody, you look so sassy and beautiful in your new I will run for Ritas picture. I love your hair.
National Run day awesome…I did a slow and steady 4 miles this morning! So I am supporting the "holiday" I love reading what you write it makes me smile:)
I LOVE YOU! xoxo
I just stumbled across your blog and I noticed you have links for areas that are local to me too! It's awesome read another runner from the area's blog! You've officially been bookmarked!
Awesome! Now that I think of it – we did see quote a few runners today on or normal weds run! Usually it's just us – and the lawn guys 🙂
Happy running!!
Great links! Hope you had a great NRD run!
