ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY:

June 3, 1965 

First American astronaut walks in space.  

On June 3, 1965, one hundred and 20 miles above the earth, Major Edward H. White II opens the hatch of the Gemini 4 and steps out of the capsule, becoming the first American astronaut to walk in space.  

IT'S A CELEBRATION:

 

June 3rd is National Running Day! 

Each year on the first Wednesday in June, people across the United States participate in National Running Day.  The day was designated as a way for runners to reaffirm their passion for running and for beginners to make a life-changing commitment to running. 

For some, running is a daily routine. The moment the runner awakes, their mission is to complete a set distance. They may have a partner, or they go it alone. Others fit in a run when time allows or at the end of their workday. Whether you run a few miles or just around the block, by yourself or with a friend or three, this is a perfect day to go for a run! Pace yourself and share your celebration with us using #NationalRunningDay  and #BGCCPatHome to post on social media.

BRAIN TEASER:

 

You stay alone and you are sleeping in your room when your friends are ringing the doorbell. They’ve come to have breakfast with you and all you have at home is a box of cornflakes, Bread, Jam and one carton of Milk. What will you open first?
