Health Dash

Before,people would slightly cringe when they hear someone "sign-up for a marathon". Most say " are you serious?". But nowadays its something that almost everyone has become involved with. It almost every event that has something to do with running there is a wide range in age groups and body type as well. The last run that I participated in, there were awards given to the youngest and oldest runner. A 5 year-old kid received the youngest runner award and an 86 year-old man received the oldest runner award.

Running has become not only a competitive sport but an activity where the whole family can participate in. I've read countless blogs, essays and forums on the web that show how much running has changed lives. It has given so many another chance at having a healthy lifestyle.
