Now, that's what I call inspirational

Now that I'm a runner (I've come to terms with it, so you might as well too), I love to read other people's blogs about running. While doing my "research," I came across one of the most incredible running stories yet. There's a guy named Patrick McGlade who is running across the country (more than 2500 miles - yes, you read that correctly - 2500 miles) to raise awareness and money for Arthritis.

His story is absolutely incredible and extremely inspirational. I'm just amazed that he runs a marathon a day. I still can't believe it. There's someone out there running a marathon a day to benefit others. People never cease to amaze me. I'm training 9 months for a marathon and he does it daily.

His goal is to raise $50,000 and he's currently raised a little over $13,000. Here's a link if you're interested in learning more. If you're able, there are a variety of ways you can help his cause. You can donate directly to support his cause for Arthritis, you can host him in your home (even backyard), or you can pay for a night in a hotel (maybe cash in some of your credit card points).

If you're interested in reading his blog, you can check it out here.

It's a story that makes you smile. We all need more of those.
