Have you ever thought about running a half-marathon but never felt inspired enought to actually get off your toosh? Are you a runner looking for another great opportunity to hit the pavement? Either way, you're in luck! The Fresh Air Fund is looking for runners and sponsors to join their Fresh Air Fund-Racers team for the NYC Half-Marathon on August 16th. Personally, I can't think of a better way to participate in NYC's premier summer road race than doing so while helping the Fresh Air Fund children.
Last summer's NYC Half-Marathon was a huge success and the Fresh Air Fund-Racers raised more than $125,000. They are also in need of Friendly Town hosts for next month. Host families open their hearts and home to a NYC child who would not otherwise have the opportunity to escape the hot, crowded city streets.

I'm a mom that loves to run with my kids. I run, they bike ride. I'm hoping to make it to this half-marathon in New York so in preparation for that, I picked up this book called Fun on Foot in New York by Nola & Warwick Ford.
Check it out while there's still time. New York is a beautiful place with lots to do on foot!
