  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  sense of this Legislative Body to acknowledge

  WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and  in  full  accord  with  its
long-standing  traditions,  this  Legislative  Body  is  justly proud to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim June 7,  2023,  as  Global

Wednesday of June; in 2019, the day changed to Global Running Day; and

  WHEREAS,  Global  Running  Day is a national initiative of the major
organizations within the  running  industry  to  promote  running  as  a
healthy, easy, and accessible form of exercise; and

  WHEREAS,  From  New  York  to  San Diego, the day will celebrate the
benefits of running as part of a healthy and active 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, 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 and, in doing so, enhance the health and welfare of the entire
State of New York; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
memorialize  Governor  Kathy  Hochul to proclaim June 7, 2023, as Global
Running Day in the State of New York; and be it further

  RESOLVED, That a copy of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
