Running for a Cause

According to an issue of Runner’s World I just read, October and fall in general is a good time for racing – a cool down in weather makes it easier when soaking up those miles.  This is an older article I came across that reminded me of why ROC – Running Over Cancer was started.  We all have our reasons that propel us to do things out of the ordinary or for all intents and purposes of this Website, go the extra mile (literally for runners and figuratively for non-runners).  Aside from running for our own health and fitness, adding purpose to the running helps create that all-important fifth gear that gets us through the last stretch of a race or a dog day of training.  In addition, running for a cause allows us to engage in philanthropic activities that strengthen our character, allowing us to feel good mentally as well as physically.
