Over 1,100 runners from more than 40 countries took part in the 3rd annual World Wide Festival of Races.\xa0 This really was a festival; it was a celebration of life, of community, of doing something of importance, endurance and strength.\xa0 It was a day where we took to the roads and ran together although we were apart. \nThere were many reasons why we all took part in this event: to celebrate, to share, to make friends and to inspire others.\xa0 We did it to prove that national and territorial boundaries on a map are nothing more than dotted lines meant to keep us physically apart, and that our own customs, religions and social environments do not exclude us from the privileges of friendship and camaraderie.\xa0 What makes us different from each other locally does not prevent us from going out into this world, under the same sky on the same little blue bubble in space, and celebrate those things that we have in common.\nWe just want to live a good, happy and healthy life.\xa0 We just want to live in peace and harmony with each other\u2026and above all, we just want to Be OK.\nShow Links:\nFdip featured blog of the week: The song \u201cBe OK\u201d was by Ingrid Michaelson
