Redemption Run in benefit of Harvest House.
Sunday June 14, 2009

Running can help train the mind as much as it trains the body. By making yourself overcome the obstacles that running brings, you learn focus and determination. The will and strength that gets your body through long runs or those runs you'd much rather skip is what in turn strengthens your mind and gives you focus and determination in other areas of your life.

Running can also be used as a way to contribute to society as a whole. Whether you volunteer at a race or actually run it, many races benefit charities of one sort or another. From running a 5k for a cure to breast cancer to running a marathon for a cure to blood cancer, there are many ways to give back to the running community and beyond.
