International Women's Day

This came to me today from the International Association of Women Runners which connects women runners throughout the world. I'm a member and thought it contained some interesting facts about women runners: Hi Mary , International Women's Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the economic, social and political achievements of women. Women now account for the majority of runners and 53% of road race finishers. Female participation at all levels of running continues to grow.  Women's races continue to proliferate, many selling out in advance. Female charity runners are making a difference both for the non-profit organizations they support, as well as the running industry as a whole. We would like to acknowledge all women on International Women's Day.  Have an especially great run today. Regards and Happy Running,     Good for us! Any other runners out there?  I belong to an International Women's Club here. We're from the USA, UK, Canada, New Zealand, The Netherlands, and Scotland. It's a diverse, fascinating group that I really enjoy. We had our biweekly meeting today and went to lunch rather than just coffee to celebrate. I had a great time gabbing and catching up after my time away. It's good to be back. Happy International Women's Day!
