Celebrating my 13th year of running everyday and this is your invitation to join the fun!! That's 4,748 days of running at least one mile per day, every single day! From the pavement to sandy desert, rocky trails or postholing in the snow to stream crossings, every day I am able to run has been a true blessing. -especially because many of these miles have been shared with friends! So, I'd love to share my milestone day with you. Whether in person or in spirit from wherever you are, let's close out 2025 with a few fun miles & lots of smiles together!
You're invited to join my 5k race-themed running party on my Run Streak Day 4,748: December 31, 2025. There are two ways you can party!
1) "From a distance" as a virtual runner from wherever you are, at a time that works for you ~or~
2) IN PERSON at Lake Elizabeth in Fremont 🗺️! (space is limited for the in-person event, see flyer for details).
No worries if you cannot make it in person since you can run from wherever you are as a virtual runner, even if you're on vacation out of town! One friend ran the entire 5k barefoot on the beach, another on a track on a cruise ship, some have taken their virtual runs to their favorite trail. I'm always excited to see where my virtual runners will run!
Let's run to celebrate, and run to do good too! We have been a force for good together over the years and I look forward to continuing our tradition! Through my experiences in 2025, I feel inspired for our funds to be shared evenly among three organizations:
💖 Breast Cancer Research Foundation
🦍 The Jane Goodall Institute for Wildlife Research, Conservation & Education
📡 Public Broadcasting Service
The Breast Cancer Research Foundation called to me the loudest as three of my friends were diagnosed with breast cancer this year alone, while more than a handful are in remission (yay!), and sadly one friend had lost her second round battle in April earlier this year. One in eight women are affected by breast cancer in her lifetime. While there have been several advancements in treatment, there is more work to be done!
I would also love to honor one of my longtime heros, the late Jane Goodall, by supporting her mission of wildlife research, conservation and education. The final beneficiary is PBS. Growing up without cable, this was the only channel I was able to watch without "snow" drifting across the screen! It was probably for the best as this was where I learned a lot of my English outside of school, from Sesame Street, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood and Reading Rainbow. I am grateful to be celebrating my milestone while supporting meaningful missions with everyone! Talk about miles with purpose! Thank you for being a force for good! Together we have been making a difference year after year, going on 13 years! 🥰 🙌
