This time of year it is hard to be motivated to keep walking. It is cold, it gets dark early and typically, we don’t have races scheduled that require training miles.

That is why many groups challenge their members to a streak — walking at least one mile a day for a set number of days.

Right now, a bunch of my walking friends and I are planning to streak from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day. And you are invited to join us! (If history is a predictor, I can nearly guarantee my friend Deb will carry the streak even further.)

The rules are simple — just walk at least one mile every single day. It doesn’t have to be a fast mile or even a “training” pace. Just walk a mile. It doesn’t count if you walk two miles one day and skip the next. It’s just one mile every day.

If you already missed a day, don’t worry. Start today!

In the middle of December when we are all cold and not wanting to go outside, I look forward to seeing all of your positive comments either here or on the WALK Facebook page! If you haven’t done it yet, go out and walk now!

Look at that, look at that
Fastest thing on two feet…” — Ray Stevens
