Going Streaking & Remaining Dressed

I am going streaking .. again! And I’ve convinced at least 12 other runners to join the fun! I am happy my coworker Paul is also joining the challenge. He’s been slacking lately and I think he needs this kick in the butt.

We’ve committed to running (and in some cases walking) two kilometres a day until and on Canada Day. The fun starts on April 1st (no joke). By my math that’s 92 days of running! I will be using #RunToCanadaDay on Twitter if you’re interested in seeing how I am doing. 

I can’t think of a better way to celebrate Canada’s birthday by a short run to wrap up the streak. (You may remember, I kinda/sorta participated in the #RWrunstreak in November. I didn’t write much about it because I was focused on running Tucson.) Feel free to join us. The way I look at it is it’s only 10-12 minutes of my day. Have you ever participated in a running streak? 

*****

I’ve picked up my training up quite a few notches which means – more sleep, less blogging/web, more stretching, more healthy food and more running/crossfit. You bet I am tired! Ha ha but I love it.

     

This week I ran with Steve and Brent. Keeping run “dates” holds me accountable! I convinced Steve to run the 10K during the Calgary Marathon’s race weekend. He runs a lot on the basketball court but not just to run. I think he’s really enjoying the training. The above picture (left) was taken after a big night out. He was not feeling the hill repeats but he still got through them. Now that’s dedication!

Brent and I headed back to the Penhold arena for some repeats on Thursday. I didn’t do so well. I blame the Greek yogurt that I ate a couple hours earlier. Ha ha. It was great to be back at the track. We took a few weeks of to run outside because we thought the outside oval would be clear. Oh we were so wrong!

Happy Sunday!

  1. Run streaks sound so fun! I've been suggested I should head into an early taper and I've been having some nagging niggles these days so I'm out. 🙁 But I so want to do a streak after Boston….of some kind whether it be a mile a day. 🙂

  2. I should be joining the screat but will cheer you one! I need to be smart about my training and have a few days of travel where It would be very hard to run…so I am out!! BUT GO GO to all the fab canucks doin the streak!!
