Excerpt from New York Road Runners email:
Celebrate the power of running on Wednesday, June 3, by wearing your sneakers all day and going out for a walk or a run. Join an NYRR group walk/run near you, including one led by Olympian Deena Kastor in Central Park!
Wow, Pyrrhic victory: get a national day for running, but then have to concede that a walk OR run suffices to celebrate it.
I claim the greybeard hobbles with cane exemption!
That's no excuse. Get your ass out there and hobble.
Its also my birthday. wrote:

There is a run scheduled for 6:30pm at Fleet Feet Sports in Louisville, KY. I will be there.
On the road away from home today - I need a few tempo miles and then will run easy and long on the Oregon coast.

8 x 1000...heading out the door in about an hour :)
I suspect nobody will read this, but I'm going to brag anyway. Our little town just 8 miles south of Eugene (which did nothing to celebrate NRD) of 4500 people had runners and walkers out on the track and trail from 4:30 a.m. until 8:30 p.m. (Sixteen Hour Challenge). Nearly every kid in our town ran alongside adults who were there to help people understand that running is fun. We are still adding the numbers but we accumulated well over 3000 people-miles. Many grade schoolers ran over 5 miles and loved it. Several ran 9+. One little fourth grader challenged me to a mile race - he had already run 6 miles - he hit the finish at 6:36 (he beat me by a stride and won the coveted cotton t-shirt he wanted badly.) Today, the day after NRD, the grade school principal called me and said that she has 200 kids that want to know when "those guys are going to run with them again". Success.
Great results - way to engage the community and stimulate interest in running!
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
