On Running
Before you hit the pavement today, check this infograph out. Or, better yet, if you need some motivation to go running, read it. This will help! It's always nice to know the stats about your sport, what it is actually doing for you and who else is doing it. I think it's amazing that the number of people who complete marathons these days has increased 225% since 1980- yet our country is more unhealthy than ever. Does this mean that the healthy keep getting healthier and the sick keep getting sicker? What can we do to close the gap between the marathoners and the sick? There is a happy medium somewhere in the middle- we must, as a country, try to find it and help :)
