I just got back from 8.75 barefoot miles at the fair grounds. The roads were smooth and the weather is gorgeous in the low 60s. I got a nice dose of Vit D to go with my endorphins!

Take a friend or family member out and move that body. One foot in front of the other is all it takes!!

interesting, had no idea that it was world run day. Unfortunately, it is a rest day :( Booooo. But, I suppose that I'm running with everyone in spirit.
Would LOVE to run around the fairgrounds! Lots of good things to see there
3 barefoot miles on World Run Day..with my old dog Jenga..first time she's ran with me in over a year...good stuff.
It was a gorgeous day!
4 recovery miles after my first half yesterday! Gooo running!
I had no idea...boy I feel out of the loop! But I did run today- yay!
Every day should be a run day. I got my half done:)
Oh geeze. Now I feel like a real bum. Didn't know of the holiday and I didn't run. Good thing you did!
Well done! That was a good way to run "together". To celebrate the World Run Day I ran 10 relaxing km near the sea. Ciao from Italy!
Yay for world run day! I did a 5km recovery run for that.
I squeezed in my run on World Run Day! It was so sweet. S'ghetti girl even asked during dinner if I had gotten my miles in. I love when my kids encourage me to run. Of course, she is really wanting me to hit 200 days after that her encouragement might wane a bit! heehee
I was pleased to come across this.
Glad to see you participated in some sense..
Best,
