Run This Year 2014 Begins!

This past week has been unreal. The Twitter/Facebook chatter about RTY 2014 has got me incredibly excited! I’m only partially ashamed to admit that I have gone from bed to computer and back for two days with nary a change in wardrobe (aka pajamas) to make sure we’re all set for TODAY. And here we are!

I’m so thankful that Pavement Runner helped make Run This Year 2013 happen, and also super thankful for the 2014 Mega Team which will make this year huge.

If you’re new to Run This Year, one of the things we like to do is give fun prizes. We have our first 2014 Sponsor lined up, which we’ll announce January 10th. We can’t always do something flashy and big, but winning something…anything…is always such a hoot.

January 9th Twitter Chat

Mark your calendars and join us!

Our Run Gurus, Kayla and Bryanna, both completed RTY 2013 with flying colors. Join in on the #RunThisYear to share your running goal, see how Kayla and Bryanna did it, and start the year strong!

While I’m still not back to running, hosting this challenge and growing this community is great fun for me. I hope that I can get back to running short distances by the end of January and maybe shooting for 2,014 km by year’s end. We’ll see. Either way, I’m excited to challenge and inspire all of you! I can’t imagine a better way to start off 2014!

What are your running goals for 2014?
