Global Running Day 2019

Strava Stats from Global Running Day

This year Global Running Day was a blast! Global Running day is fun because it's a day the whole world comes together to celebrate running no matter how fast or slow someone is it's the sheer act of #justshowingup that really makes a difference. As studies have shown, physical activity can prolong a person's lifespan. I only remember a few short years ago breaking a toe on Global Running Day and it was such a bummer. This year wasn't short of a rain shower during my 3 mile run, but it was definitely full of fun exciting opportunities. I was trying to run a tempo run, but my legs were still sore coming off of the back to back races over the weekend. I didn't want this to be the case, but you only have one body. As my brand says run 4 life is more than just running. You have to keep yourself accountable taking care of your body so you can maintain physical activity. I saw a few other runners on my run and got rained on, but it was a nice summer rain. I was reminded of all the reasons it's great to run outside because you get the see the beauty nature provides to us every day even if it isn't always sunny.
