As I was watching the NFL
and baseball over the weekend I
got to thinking. When would I ever get the chance to play in one
of those games, to compete on the same field as the pros? Never.
That’s why running is so
wonderful. You can run on the same roads as the pros, and even run in the same races.
As a kid, maybe you
imagined hitting a home run in Yankee Stadium or scoring a touchdown at Giants
Stadium. Whether it’s Boston, New York, Chicago or any of the big
marathons that attract some of the elite runners,
you too can sign up and run in these very same races. Of course you probably
won’t be running at the exact
same time, but at least it’s the same day, on the same course. (It’s
not like they have a special course for pros and a different one for us mere mortals!)
Even if you are not
running in a race, you can still run the same streets that
the race was held on. What would happen on a Sunday morning, if you went
down to your local stadium and tried to play a softball game with your pals?
