Happy National Running Day

June 1, 2011 by Kristy 13 Comments

So today is National Running Day and I’m celebrating by taking a rest day and getting a pedicure.  Awful, huh?  Might as well throw in a beer as well!

How are you celebrating?  Any good runs or races today?

    Rest is part of training – so nothing awful about that! Gotta be nice to your feet 🙂 I did a 6 mile fartlek run, which is what I do when I can’t motivate to do a real interval or tempo run. It was fun! Happy national running day!

    Happy National Running Day. What book is that you’re reading? (or is this a throw-back pic?). I really wish I was out in the sun laying out instead of in an office w/ no windows… well, I guess no windows is okay — then I can’t be too depressed (nor would I have an option of jumping out of the window).

    Have a wonderful, rest day!

      This is a throw-back pic (I was on my honeymoon). I’m reading Eclipse (I think), part of the Twilight series (yes, I am a fan)!

      I’m a cube (or box) with no windows either. It’s terrible.

    I did a 3 mile taper run this morning. I think your way of celebrating sounds more fun!

      I heard the forecast looks better for Saturday! A “cold” front is passing through! That’s great news!

    I’m not running either! I ran 10 on Monday and 7 yday (and am coming back slowly from NJM!) so I think a rest day is in order! Trying to build back up mileage, but trying not to get to impatient as next marathon isnt til Nov!

    I love that you are reading a book from the Twilight series. With your new hardcore training schedule, a rest day is needed! I’m glad I’m not the only one who didn’t celebrate NRD with a run!
