So, who wants to go streaking with me?! I'm planning to streak every day from Thanksgiving to New Years Day! Who's in?
You know you want to.
How wonderful would it be to feel that nice, brisk, Fall breeze on your body as you run through the streets!?!
Okay, okay, okay. So, those of you who follow me on Instagram/Twitter/Facebook, you may have had the pleasure of seeing my watch face on your newsfeed every day last year for like 45 days straight. I ran all of those days in what the running community calls a Running Streak. Which you should look up- because 45 days is actually very short compared to others. Some people have been on a running streak for years. These people are running Gods. The goal is to run at least 1 mile every day during the streak. Anyways, I will be doing that again this year in order to force my butt out the door on the cold, windy, frigid, awful, miserable, freezing days that take up the months of November through January here in Maryland. These days may involve cold rain, snow, or who knows we may get a Christmas that is like 80 degrees (as we did last year). In Maryland, we never really know, do we!?
This year, I'm looking to try something new. I really hope it works because I think it would be really fun and interesting. It would also help push me to be more social and meet new people in the area. I've been in Bethesda for a couple years and I really don't know a lot of people in the area (except for my work clients and their kids....).
The idea: I want to run with someone new every day of my running streak. If possible. Or, maybe if that ends up being impossible, I want to at the minimum have 1 of my runs each week be with someone new. This "someone new" could be a stranger I just meet, an acquaintance, or someone I know but that I've never had the joy of running with.
What will the workouts be like: I would love to just be a part of each person's workout. If they have a 5 miler planned, I'll run a 5 miler. If they want to jog around a track, cool- let's do it. If they want to do a trail run and see me do something I've always feared- I'm in! Fartleks on the agenda? Yes, please- sign me up! Or, if this person is newer to running or just wants me to make the plan, I can do that, too!
I really just want to meet new people, new runners, and experience something different each day/week while staying in shape! (I want to crush my 5k on NYD 2017!!) I have my fingers crossed that I'll be able to find enough strangers/friends/people through social media, the local running stores, and the local paths to reach my goal! I would LOVE any help possible spreading the word to runners (brand new, experienced, pros, anyone!). For anyone who wants to setup a day to run with me during my Running Streak 2016, please email me at [email protected]. I need a runner every day from November 25-December 31 (I will be racing in a 5k on Thanksgiving and NYD so those 2 days I will already be running with hundreds of new people!)
Thank you and happy running!
