Mile Streak Anyone?

I miss running. I just haven’t been making it a priority and I want to. It takes me approximately 10 minutes to run a mile and there’s no reason I can’t do it daily.

Truth be told I like the challenge of #wycwyc‘ing it in.

I know not everyone is a runner so I thought I’d issue a #milestreak challenge for the month of June. Walk, run, skip, or crawl. it doesn’t matter. Just commit to consciously covering a mile a day.

I’m hoping it helps me de-stress during FitBloggin‘ month.

Who’s with me?

If you’er interested in what happens to your body when you walk I shared a really cool article in a wycwyc podcast a few weeks ago.
