Chris Lawson will be the guest for the show. Chris is one of the better runners in the Mobile area and will discuss the National Run AT Work Day to be observed on Friday, Sept. 21. In 1997, the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) founded the National Run TO Work Day. The purpose of the event was to get runners to leave their cars at home and run to and from work. While the event was successful in cities with well developed pedestrian networks and mass transit, the organization realized that running to work was probably not feasible for most of the working population. On September 21, 2007, the Road Runners Club of America, the largest grassroots running organization in the country, will promote the 2nd Annual RRCA National Run@Work DayŽ. The purpose of National Run@Work Day is to promote physical activity and healthy living through running or walking. This day is an evolution of the Run to Work program. The goal of National Run @ Work Day is for RRCA members and individuals across the country to incorporate at least thirty-five minutes of exercise into their daily lives. Incorporating exercise into one's daily routine can markedly improve one's overall physical health and can help alleviate health related medical costs associated with overweight and obesity. Bottom line -Run sometime Friday!
