When my daughter asked a little too late last night to go around the block, I excitedly told her, 'Don't worry! Tomorrow is Global Running Day!' Her response? That's boring! In her defense she is 4 years old, and holds 'holidays' to very high standards. So when she found out that all we would do for Global Running Day is well, run, I suppose she was disappointed. I'll forgive her about her lack of running day enthusiasm, because she … [Read more...]
