Being Grateful

As I enter a new calendar year and press toward the 17th year of The Streak I realize how this part of my life is more than a great gift of health. Daily exercise allows time to reflect, explore and has opened doors in surprising ways. I know all too well that not everyone can engage in physical exercise, and the vast majority of able bodied people can’t manage to carve out the time every single day.

For me, this nearly 20 year old physical journey has become deeply spiritual and philosophical. I completely enjoy the holistic benefits of The Streak. Running, exercising, and living a healthy lifestyle are key components to my identity and happiness. I am thankful for the wherewithal, resources and the support of others to keep The Streak alive.

Identify whatever brings you joy. Run it down and stay with it!
