-Yay! It’s Global Running Day! In case you did not know:
Global Running Day is a day that celebrates the sport of running. It is held annually on the first Wednesday of June. Participants of all ages and abilities pledge to take part in some type of running activity by submitting their names through the Global Running Day website. The inaugural Global Running Day was held on June 1, 2016. More than 2.5 million people from 177 countries pledged to run more than 9.2 million miles. New York City Mayor, Bill de Blasio, declared June 1, 2016, to be Global Running Day in the City of New York. 2014 Boston Marathon winner Meb Keflezighi led a group run from the Boston Run Base, and the Atlanta Track Club organized a “run around the clock” event, where at least one person from the Atlanta metro area would be running every hour of Global Running Day.

-Not only does Global Running Day fall on June 2 so does International Sex Workers' Day.
-While I did not log in any miles for Global Running Day, I did purchase a 3-race pack through Run Rock n Roll. So that counts, right?
-These races (probably half-marathons) are my top picks.
Va Beach: I have not run a race in my home state or home city since my high school cross country days back in the late 90s
Madrid: I was supposed to run this marathon last year. Wait, I gotta double check to see if my last year's registration will roll over to this year.
San Antonio: I really like this city.
New Orleans: I have not returned since graduating college back in '02.
-Eek! Only 156 days until TCS NYC Marathon; I need to get on my training grind.
-Some running positivity . . . I guess.
