World Run Day

What is your idea of a relaxing Sunday? Mine includes beautiful crisp autumn weather and a long leisurely run. Having someone to run with is definitely an added bonus, but I will settle with knowing you ran somewhere, anywhere, on World Run Day. This annual event promotes two fantastic things on one single day: the sport of running and charitable giving. It was first started in 1999 and unites runners from all over the world. Heck, World Run Day was even celebrated by our Soldiers in Afghanistan!

To register, the cost is less than $20 and you get a t-shirt! Then, you donate to your favorite cause. I chose the ASPCA for obvious reasons (my dogs, Brewski the Boston Terrier and Piper the Puggle, actually sleep under my luxurious down comforter on my 600 thread count sheets). Plus, their commercials get me EVERY.SINGLE.TIME.

So sign up! Run a 50 yard dash or a marathon… just run. :-)

    Very cool. Never heard of a benefit run for animals. I like that. Good luck to you!!

    As for my Sundays. I admit it, I like to snuggle with my blankie on the couch and watch good movies all day. BUT that never happens. I’ve got 4 kids, ya know.

    Yum Yucky – Now for a rainy Sunday… forget that run and give me a couch and my computer and the softest blanket I can find. And loads of pretzels, of course.

    Annie – I am so glad you signed up! I hope I get my t-shirt in time too, but even if I don’t I will make sure to take a picture of myself in it and post it. I expect you to do the same! You are a better puppy mama than me, I need to donate more.

  4. Sounds like a great event! There’s nothing better than an event that gives back.
