About 1001 Days for 1001 Dollars: Running Down A Dream
On January 1, 2015 I decided to start running. At least one mile each day, for a year. I ran because it was hard, and because I wanted to be better. A better runner, a better person. I ran everyday of 2015. And kept going. Through 2016 and into 2017. Through 8 states, ice storms, tornado warnings, a nasty bout of stomach flu, and a flooded kitchen. I ran before my wedding. I ran before several funerals. I ran alone and with others. But mostly alone. I decided to run until I would miss it if I stopped. And I'm there. I found peace in running.
September 27 will mark the 1001st day of my crazy running streak.
I'd like to invite folks to join me on Monday Sept 18 to mark the last 10 days of the streak by running or walking at least 1 mile each day and then donating $10 to St Vincent Family Center Girls on the Run. I'm hoping to raise $1001 to give these super deserving staff and kids an opportunity to fall in love with running.
Feel free to share, or invite friends to join in. The more, the merrier!
