Okay, be honest. You didn't know today was Global Running Day. It's fine. I didn't either. Whether you found out through teammates, other websites, or social media sites, you wanted to know what was going on. The event is held on the first Wednesday of June as a celebration for runners everywhere to share their love for the sport. It is also a day those who haven't discovered running can find out what the excitement is all about!
This year the goal is to have one million kids run, with the hopes of "making fitness fun and inspiring kids to embrace running as a way to get healthy and fit."
We asked several Florida runners their thoughts on the big day. Want to chime in and tell us why you run? Let us know on Facebook, via Twitter, or by commenting below!
