running

Even though we have turned the page into a new year, we are still in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. We are still being asked to follow social distancing guidelines and now there is a state-wide trail that has been completed to help us still get outside and enjoy nature.

One of the oldest road races in the country has been forced to go viral this year. In continuing with 2020 and most things having been canceled or postponed, the Troy Turkey Trot is still on, just viral this year.

Though I haven't been as diligent as I usually am, I love to run and Upstate New York in the fall is the best time to get out there. Walk, run, stroll, whatever you do- just get outside and move!

I'm a runner. At least, I like to tell myself I am. I've run a half-marathon before but even running for that distance seemed incredible to me. I don't know if I could ever complete 26.2miles. The Boston Marathon is a completely different monster and the people who take part in that aren't human.

In case you have not noticed in the past few years running 5Ks has evolved from just running the 3.1 miles into things like color and zombie runs.

No, I didn't run in the race!  Somehow I didn't qualify (wrong sex and also out of shape!)   But I did have a chance to go and see the whole thing for the first time, and it was phenomenal - plus a great "photo op"

You'll go through a range of emotions as you're watching this trending video.  I know I did!  I laughed, I winced, I felt sorrow... and I felt like a lot of these people lacked common sense! Wicker chairs will not hold you up, and don't try to jump on a moving treadmill...

Runners are a very unified group and have a special connection whenever they meet a fellow runner. Running takes so much dedication, training, and work. While people have different motives for running, it's being a runner that brings them together...

While most people who are 95 years old quietly sit at home and try to enjoy a quiet life, this woman spends her time running in parks near her home.
