National Running Day

Happy National Running Day!

And pampered my muscles in the hot tub:

I am so glad to be a runner. Running gives me mental reprieve when I need it most, constantly allows me to prove to myself all that I'm able to accomplish, forces me to challenge myself, and keeps my body healthy.

For more on why I run, here's some recommended reading:
