Streaking on Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Today kicks off the Runners World Run Streak: run at least one mile a day, every day, from now until Thursday, January 1.

#RWRunStreak - 36 days of awesome! (source)

I am not going to be participating in the Run Streak - my mind and body are clearly telling me they need some recovery after the Philly Half and I am going to honor that. I will be streaking in my own way, however. I am going to do a plank-a-day streak and a gratitude streak. Each day I will do a plank (to build core strength!) and list five things for which I am grateful. I encourage you to participate in your own version of 36 days of awesome!

A lot of my friends kicked off their Run Streak today at the PR Races Turkey Day 5k. The rest of this blog is dedicated to my awesome running family and their accomplishments today!

We're going STREAKING!
