"Each year on the first Wednesday in June, people across the United States participate in National Running Day. The day was designated as a way for runners to reaffirm their passion for running and for beginners to make a life-changing commitment to running. For some, running is a daily routine. The moment the runner awakes, their mission is to complete a set distance. They may have a partner, or they go it alone. Others fit in a run when time allows or at the end of their workday. The marathoner will train on a schedule, and the dedicated runner knows they have to take care of their feet, knees and eat right to maintain their bodies for the road. Whatever the distance, the celebration is about placing one foot in front of the other and setting a pace."
My notes: Who likes to run? I prefer to walk myself.

I'm not into running, I'd rather take a nice walk instead.
Along with swimming, walking is one of the best ways to exercise.
Although, a nice leisurely stroll, especially with a friend, is still good for you and it's easier to talk and not be out of breath:-)

I'm not able to do much running or jogging as my asthma acts up. So I prefer taking long walks instead.

"National Rocky Road Day celebrates chocolate, marshmallows, and nuts on June 2nd. In the United States, the most popular way to eat Rocky Road is ice cream. Although Rocky Road comes in many variations, traditionally, the ice cream includes chocolate ice cream, nuts, and marshmallows. Today, there are variations with vanilla ice cream, chocolate chips, and almonds.
People have been enjoying this delicious combination for many years. There are varying accounts of the origin of this ice cream, as there often is with the creation of something new. Sometime during the late 1920s, William Dreyer used inspiration from his partner Joseph Edyโs chocolate candy to make rocky road ice cream. Dryer did something he was probably told a hundred times not to do. He used his wifeโs sewing scissors to chop up marshmallows and walnuts and added them to chocolate ice cream. Of course, it tasted good, so he was probably forgiven for using her good sewing shears for anything but fabric!
Another who laid claim to the creation of rocky road ice cream was George Farren. He had simply blended a candy bar into chocolate ice cream creating the creamy dessert."
My notes: Who likes Rocky Road? It was okay. I always just preferred chocolate ice cream.

"Today is not only June 2, it is also International Volkswagen Bus Day and we are celebrating an iconic past while taking a ride into the future. Come along as we celebrate a global icon with an unmistakable design that has brought smiles to the faces of generationsโthe Volkswagen Bus. The Volkswagen Type 2, better known as simply the Volkswagen Bus (VW Bus), is an automotive icon that continues to captivate people from around the globe. Introduced in 1950, it has become a vehicular symbol of a counterculture movement."
My notes: Anybody have a VW Bus? Did you used to have one? What did you like about it? I have never had one. Reminds me of the 60โs.

Never had a Volkswagen bus. But I did have a Volkswagen Beetle which was an amazing little car. It could have a thousand things wrong with it and it would still run!
