Additionally, members of the media play a crucial role in promoting the event—and all the new running shoes and gear on display—to the public. Here are the most common—and head scratching—questions I was asked as a media attendee of The Running Event in Austin, TX.

With Thanksgiving around the corner (best of luck in dealing with your relatives), I figured I’d spend a blog post detailing why I’m thankful for running (and more) and sharing it with complete strangers like you. After all, gratitude helps us feel positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve health, and more. I can’t fit everything I’m thankful for into this post, so I chose six, in no particular order.
