National Runners Day!!

NATIONAL RUNNERS DAY!!
 "Let us run with endurance the race God has set before us." Hebrews 12:1

Did you get your run on?? 
I had a very busy day and was determined to find some time to honor the day with a few miles of my own! 
My niece "Sarah"  spent the night. This morning we enjoyed a cup of coffee and made a fruit salad for breakfast.
I had to stay home till the garage door repair man came at 9am. He was prompt and fast at servicing the broken garage door. So as soon as he left "Sarah" and I were changing into our running clothes and getting out the door too!

We leashed Sheba up and the 4 of us went out for a run. It was the perfect day for a runners holiday!! Like having fluffy white snow on Christmas. It was sunny and 60 degrees, the perfect weather to celebrate Running!. 
You FELT the run.
The festivities started with the ritual of picking out your running clothes to feeling your soles hit the pavement and everything in between!!

We ran 3 miles. We did a 5 and 1. 5 minutes run, 1 minute walk.. It was really enjoyable. It was such a blessing to enjoy the company of my 19 year old niece doing one of my favorite things. It was a very special time.

I didn't need to go far.
I didnt need to go fast.
The Run was about my passion for The RUN.
The Run was about being thankful to GOD for The RUN and the ability to do it.
The Run was about sharing my Love with someone else.

WHY DID YOU RUN today??
Who did you RUN with today??
How Far did you RUN today??? 

PLEASE Share..Who Else Honored the day with a RUN???
