Did you think it was weird this morning all those people racing down the sidewalk, running laps around your office building, jogging alongside the bus? Whether you noticed an up-tick in running behavior or not, have it be known that today is National Running Day — a day dedicated to bringing us “together as a nation to take strides toward leading healthier, fitter lives.”

If you’re thinking, “Oh bummer, but I totally drove to work and had a giant hoagie for lunch — my life is so not fit today,” it’s not too late! The Running Day website has a list of tons of local events, many of which start this evening. People in central Florida can join the run at Gemini Springs at 7pm; ambitious runners outside of Houston can take on a 3 mi run at 7pm; Long Island commuters can jog on the Long Beach boardwalk at 9pm — there’s something for just about everyone.

Or just embody the spirit of National Running Day by jogging to the copier and back. Racing to the corner coffee shop on your break. Jogging in place at your 5pm board meeting. Doing some quadriceps stretches between helping customers.

Keep in mind, if you want to get serious about running, Saucony has a full line of profesh running shoes in addition to the stylish Originals.
