So, I asked the children, “What can we do in PE class to recognize this “National Running Day?” Well, I shouldn’t have asked that question because I got some wild answers. Run to the park, run to the Dairy Queen, run to the mall to shop, run home to watch TV, and then just skip school for the rest of the day because we are all too tired from all that running! Don’t think so, children!

So, we simply settled on wearing our pedometers in PE class, and for the rest of the day in school to try & reach our goal of 10,000 steps per day. Whew… thank goodness…this would definitely be a much safer and educational way to celebrate this day. (And I knew I wouldn’t be let go for doing this!)

Jeff, sounds like you definitely celebrated this “National Running Day,” too, from getting your 3-miler in to catching up & sharing with your friends & family all of your “running business.” All good….

Thanks for sharing this fun blog and hope that the movie Marathon Man didn’t tire you out too much! Also, I’ve got this date on the calendar for next year circled in red!

Happy Running!
