to feel free and alive
in sexy pants
because it's cheap therapy
faster than a speeding bullet
for my parents
to get rid of stress
to live
to get out of the house
to see the sunrise
on the waterfront
before my kids wake
Miami
with my girls
Atlanta
Eugene
with my dad
Boston
wicked fast
everywhere
when it's dark out
to eat!
Boulder
on trails
on the best team ever
after work
away from drama
till I drop
to the finish
on empty
up hills
like the wind
no matter what
for the gossip
'cause it's my job
better in my head
to stay in shape
all over the US
without fancy gizmos
in D.C.
like an Angry Bird
like Forrest
for good causes
to feel alive.
to be a better person
for myself
away all of life's worries.
for strength.
for sanity
for fun
for the joy of it!
in Jersey City!
in solitude
to be free
Brooklyn
like Pre
like a Clydesdale
Because I can.
to be closer to my Mom.
for my health.
because its cheaper than therapy!
To see what I'm capable of.
to escape!
New York
to clear my head
for my brother in Afghanistan.
EVERY DAY
por mi
con un gran equipo!
for Cancer
so I am the best mom I can be.
for meee

by you
up to the pain
therefore I am.
To feel alive

to make it to 100 years old.
to spend time with friends
because I love to.
to defy my age!
Minnesota's North Woods!
NYC, Baby!

10 Ways to Celebrate National Running Day
-
Declare your passion – People run for millions of reasons, and we want to know yours! Head to www.runningday.org and let the nation know why you run, be it raising money for charity, keeping your waistline in check, or getting to that bagel at the 5K finish line. -
Bring a "runway" to work – Swap your loafers and heels for sneakers and you'll be dressed to the nines for National Running Day. Your feet will thank you for it, and it will be that much easier to step out for a short jog during lunch or on your way home from work. -
Morph your friends into running fiends – Friends don't let friends just walk on National Running Day! Invite a pal or two—the more the merrier—to hit the road with you. They'll be hooked in no time! -
Change Happy Hour to Running Hour – Shake things up by adding a run to your post-work plans. Head out at 5:00 p.m. with some co-workers and relax over miles instead of cocktails. -
Strike new ground – Seize the day and take the road you've never traveled. Who knows? You might find a new favorite running path to spice up your summer. -
Give the gift of running – Donate to organizations that use running to make a difference in people's lives, like Back on my Feet or Achilles International. -
Make running run in the family – They have your eyes, but what about your endurance? Leave the bikes and baseball bats in the garage and run around the neighborhood with the kids. Keep things interesting with a short race to see who is the fastest. -
Choose a running resolution – Kick off a new fitness goal on National Running Day. It can be anything, including adding five minutes to your next run, running a new distance, or signing up for a road race. -
Take advantage of the great outdoors – Running outside beats spending all your time on the treadmill. Step out the front door and away from the gym to take in a bit of nature during your afternoon run. -
Treat yourself like a champion – Set yourself up for success by indulging in your favorite post-run snack, sporting your lucky t-shirt, or helping your feet to a new pair of sneakers.
