I ran along my normal path, followed by the moon and greeted by the early rays of the dawn. I ran past a pond and saw a family of beavers swimming by. The paper carrier was making his rounds through the neighborhood. I thought of the thousands of brave Americans and British who stormed the beaches of Normandy 68 years ago. I realized how blessed I am because of their sacrifices. I ended up running 5.33 miles and burned nearly 900 calories. I was soaked in sweat and never felt better in my life.
That’s how I celebrated National Running Day. No cards but I did get a gift. The gift of being fit.
