27-Day Running Challenge

So my husband Travis and I were talking about our running goals, and he challenged me to a challenge of running every day between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I decided to take him up on it, and he is going to do it too. The minimum run is 1 mile, but most days once you get out there, you are likely to do more. Honestly, I tend to be an 'every other day' runner, or run 2 or 3 days in a row, and take a few days off. I honestly don't know the last time I ran more than 4 days in a row. I'm kind of excited to challenge myself in a different way that doesn't involve racing. Since I ran on Thanksgiving for the turkey trot (which, by the way, was snowy and icy, but I still ran with Avery and she did great), and our last day of running will be Christmas Eve, the total number of days in a row will be 27. I ran 3.1 for the race yesterday, and 3.4 today, in my neighborhood with no electronic devices. Sometimes my runs will show on Strava (when I run with my phone) but otherwise, I'll just document them here.  Travis ran 3.1 yesterday, and 4.5 today. Wish us luck and no injuries!!

Here are a few pic from the Turkey trot yesterday. I didn't achieve my best time, but we had a great time! I was 'the girl with a turkey hat pushing a stroller' haha. The pictures are of me, my sister Kelsey, Avery, and Travis's brother Kyle. Travis ran too, but he was warming up during our picture time. What a great way to start the day!
