Community of Runners

What has amazed me most as I have gotten involved with running are the incredible people I meet. On a daily basis I talk and interact with runners from Chicago and around the world. This blog has been visited by people from places such as Malyasia, Iceland, Israel, Ireland, the UK, Brazil, Spain, France, and even somewhere in the middle of the Pacific, and of course all over the US and Canada. I want to thank you all for reading my blog. I appreciate it.

As I talk with these folks, I am struck at how much we love our sport. For some it is a healthy exercise. For others it is a passion. When I talk with customers at the store, I watch them beam as they tell me about their runs and how they are progressing.

I am sure I bore most of my friends as I talk about my running, so I am very appreciative of being able to "talk shop" with my fellow runners. You all are terrific!

So now as I head off to work today at Fleet Feet, I feel good knowing there is a great community of runners out there!
