2014 Run For the Sun

   

   If you haven't heard yet starting tomorrow is something that you need to be part of. It's called the Run For The Sun 2014 and it's serious fun! The first RFTS was started around 2009 by my good friend Coach Jeff in Australia. I became involved with it last year while completing my 366 Project. I managed to finish the challenge that year and then some.

   The rules are very simple; you must email Coach Jeff at Coachjeff@coachjeff.com.au and provide your name, contact info, a little background information and where you live. He will register you for for the cheap price of zero dollars. Then starting on June 1st you have to walk or run at least one mile (1.6 km) every day for the entire month. Every week you'll have to email him your weekly mileage stats. This year Coach has created a Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/coachjeffrunforthesun?ref=br_tf. On the page you can post about your RFTS journey. Prizes will be awarded by Coach for interesting pictures. 

   I'll be participating again in the year's RFTS. I can't wait to get started! Challenges like this are easy for us streakers. I'm not like other people. I don't care if my mini-SUV is clean most of the time, I don't care if my weedy lawn needs mowing and could care less about what people think of me. I'm cut from a different cloth. I'd rather go out for a long run on my weekends than spend money throwing back beers in my local bar. I've even convinced my wife and little man to get into the action this year! Why not make it a family affair? 

   I hope you consider doing this year's RFTS. Don't hold yourself back. Be epic and ride that lighting...
