RunningMom over at Of Running and Parenting has a good idea for how to ring in 2010: Run 10k. Not necessarily a formal, organized race, but 10 kilometers, anywhere, anytime, on New Year's Day. She's calling it a Virtual Group Run, and she's trying to get as many runners as she can to participate.
Count me in. I'm a sucker for a good gimmick, and I'm always happy for an excuse to run on a holiday.
Any other takers?
"Called as you are frequently to engage in your competitions in the midst of nature, amid the marvels of the mountains, seas, fields, and slopes, you are in the best position to perceive the value of simple and immediate things, the call to goodness, the dissatisfaction with one’s insufficiency, and to meditate on the authentic values that are the basis of human life…"These are virtues that harmonize well with the Christian spirit because they demand a capacity for self-control, self-denial, sacrifice, and humility, and therefore an attitude of gratefulness to God, who is the giver of every good and therefore also the giver of the necessary physical and intellectual talents."
— Pope John Paul II
