Happy National Running Day, you guys!
It's June 6, a day on which definitely nothing else happened, the first Wednesday in June, which means it's National Running Day!
National Running Day, held annually on the first Wednesday in June, is a day when runners everywhere declare their passion for running. Wherever we are and whomever we're with, we run-fast or slow, alone or with others, all over town or just around the block. It is a coast-to-coast celebration of a sport and activity that's simple, inexpensive, and fun. It's the perfect way for longtime runners to reaffirm their love of running and for beginners to kick off a lifetime and life-changing commitment.
The National Running Day site -- runningday.org -- has everything you could need or want for today: 10 Ways to Celebrate National Running Day ("Declare your passion" and "Choose a running resolution," for example), technical tees and even information on where to find group runs in your area.
Happy running!
