A year long journey

Hey everyone,

I am new to this so bare with me :)

On Tuesday night I was reading Runner's World magazine and I came across an article about someone who made their New Year's resolution to run every day for the whole entire year.  I became inspired after that article and decided I am going to do the same thing but obviously starting a few months after January 1st.  So even though I made this decision on Wednesday, May 25, my year started on Monday May 23! Then I texted my friend Liz, who is also apart of this blog, and got her to join me in the journey.  She will begin her running on June 1st as it is her final day at Disney, so she is leaving one journey to begin another! We have decided to put aside $1 for every mile that we run and at the end of this running adventure we are going to put all that money towards a charity.  As of right now we have not decided which charity or charities we are going to donate to.  Hopefully that decision will be made in the next few days!  Also we have decided that as long as 1 mile is run for a single day that it will count as a run, just as long as we are out there getting in some mileage.  I am also using this to hopefully help me prevent myself from injury because since I have started being a runner, I have had my fair share of injuries that have prevented me from running for months at a time and from doing multiple races.  I'm hoping that since I am going to be using this in order to help me slowly build up on my mileage that it will get my bones, legs, and hips used to the impact that running has on our bodies.  I hope you all enjoy reading about our year long running adventure and maybe inspire some of you to join along with us!
