lifestyle aimed at  combating  some  of  today's  most  pressing  health
issues; and

  WHEREAS,  Individuals  from the State of New York can participate in
Global Running Day by simply getting out and running; whether it is with
a group or alone, an individual or a family, Global Running Day  is  the
perfect time to start fresh with new fitness goals; and

  WHEREAS,  It  is fitting to set aside days which encourage a healthy
lifestyle for kids and seniors, and, in doing so, enhance the health and
welfare of the entire State of New York; now, therefore, be it
