Happy National Running Day!

I’ll be honest with you. It is not a great day for running in the DC Area. Code Orange air quality. Hot. Humid. But I heeded Coach Ed’s advice and went out for an easy “acclimation” run during my lunch hour. Wooooeeeee. It definitely felt like a sauna, but it was a good run and as I frequently have to remind myself, I never regret going for a run.

I am happy to be able to celebrate running today. Running has been such a significant part of the past 5 years. It has been a truly positive force in my life and I can honestly say that I am better for it.

I’m healthier, happier, and fitter. I’ve developed friendships with so many wonderful people because of my love of running and triathlon.

One of my favorite sayings is one I created:

The Goal is The Race in 2050.

I sincerely hope that 40 years from now I still call myself a runner and I continue to benefit from all of that running brings to my life.
