A running honor for Monterey Peninsula

The Monterey Peninsula, the place I live and train, has won the first Outstanding Runner Friendly Community in the United States award given by the Road Runners Club of America. Founded in 1958, the Road Runners Club of America is the oldest and largest national association of running clubs, running events, and runners dedicated to promoting running as a competitive sport and as healthy exercise. This year the RRCA opened nominations to every city in the United States based on an extensive application process and short video. I'm featured in the video, talking about how much I love it here.
