Every Day is Running Day

Wednesday, June 7 is Global Running Day. In honor of that, this week’s Tuesdays on the run linkup is all about Global Running Day. How will you celebrate it?

Run! I suppose the best and most obvious way to celebrate is to lace up and run That said, Global Running Day falls on a crosstraining day for me so a run may not happen.

Sign up for a race. Here’s something I might actually do. I’ve been eyeing RocknRoll Chicago but haven’t yet pulled the trigger.

Buy some running gear. Isn’t this always a good idea? Yes. Yes it is.

Reflect on your running journey. Mine spans many years. 2017 is the 10th anniversary of my first half and full marathons and I’d been running for many years before that. I can truly say that running has changed me for the better. Physically, mentally and spiritually.

How will you celebrate Global Running Day? How has running changed you?

  1. Im planning to get out for a run tomorrow and Global running day has also led me to reject on my running. Especially after dealing with injury struggles for so long its helpful to take a step back and thick about the bigger picture of running.

  2. I’m going to try to run tomorrow to celebrate! It wil likely be a treadmill.run and slow, but I will get up early and go run. I do like the idea of buying new gear– it’s ALWAYS a good idea!

  5. I’ve no idea if I’ll run or not. It’s possible. But it’s also not like I’m going to stop running — not if I don’t have to!

    And buying more running clothes is always a good idea. 🙂 Just don’t tell Mr. Judy.

  7. I really love Global Running Day. I often feel like it’s a second Christmas for runners, lol

    Wednesdays are usually a non-running day for me but I’m planning on getting in 2 miles before my boot camp class.

  8. I will be out of town working so nothing running-wise will happen but be sure, I’ll make up for it with ALL of your suggestions.

  9. For the past 3 years, I haven’t been able to run on global running day… either baseball or school day for my son. This year, I’m doing the Big run 5K! and of course, registering for another race!

    Thank you for reminding me of other days to make running day count!

  12. The day always seems to be when I’m taking a break and recovering from a previous race. I don’t remember if I got out for a run last year or not. I did see RnR has a promotion price thing for races coming up, but I already signed up for Vegas. I’m blame post-race blues.

  21. In the spirit of the holiday I moved my Thursday run to today and did a nice easy 5K 🙂 I thought 2 rest days before Utah sounded nice because flying doesn’t really count as a rest day anymore does it?

  24. The weather was finally nice in my neck of the woods so I was so excited to run on a local trail. I’m always in a much better mood on the days that I run!

  25. That’s fun it’ll be your 10th anniversary the same year you run the Berlin race.
    I purchased new shoes that day lol but I had to return them…still waiting for my exchange!
