National Donut Day

Well, my attempt to get everyone all geeked up for National Running Day didn't fly too high, so let's see how we do with National Donut Day. It started surprisingly early , 1938, as a fundraiser by the Chicago Salvation Army.

Of course, now it has been co-opted by Big Donut. Dunkin Donuts is offering a free donut with beverage purchase and will announce the winner of its Create Dunkin's Next Donut Contest.

I went to college in small town Iowa. The local bakery would leave its back door open at night for students who got the late night munchies (for whatever reason!) and you could walk in and get fresh donuts. The Bakery Run is an official event on the schedule at all college reunions.

Me? I am still running tomorrow.
