What I learned from the #RunEveryDay challenge

I've posted a few times about my progress on this challenge. I've also posted almost daily now for over 50 days after each run. The #RunEveryDay challenge from Nike running was designed to be a 30 day challenge during the month of April.

What happened was something even bigger!

Halfway thru April #RunEveryDay

Now that I'm nearly halfway through the #RunEveryDay challenge, I wanted to take a look back over  the last two weeks of running. I have been fortunate enough to remain healthy during these last 2 weeks and happy to say that I've managed at least a mile each day this month.

On the upside...

#RunEveryDay...sure, no problem! Right?

Seems like a straightforward challenge, right? 
SIMPLY, run 1 mile a day. Just 1. For the whole month of April. 

After all, there's only 30 days in April (not 31)...

April 1: A new start to Run Every Day

We all need motivation to keep up our running intensity and focus during the long winter months.

I came across this great challenge that I wanted to share with you. What better way to get over your winter blues than to get you outside and running every day! 

April RUN EVERY DAY Challenge

It only requires that you run 1 mile a day. 
I think that is well within our reach. 

So what are you waiting for?
Go for a run!!

"Not as advertised..."

Although it is now spring there is still a lot of winter weather and cold. With that comes cooler temperatures and now lots of rain... Spring rain.

Over the last few weeks, it would not be uncommon to be hit during our morning run with winds of 20 mph or even freezing rain. So then what do you do for your morning workout when the weather is "not as advertised" -- or for the morning of that race you've been planning for weeks?
