“He didn’t even look tired! It’s like he was just…having fun!” – Born to Run (pg 103).
I like to think of Mojo as being magic. But magic just doesn’t happen, you must put yourself “out there” and challenge the norm and what is possible. This often times creates fear, which is natural, but Mojo happens when we look beyond the fear and ACT on it. Dustin's Got Mojo!
In recognition of Dustin Huck's 1,200 mile run journey, I thought it would be fun to have a Mojo Team Challenge to help support Dustin and to help put into perspective the magnitude of Dustin's undertaking. The Mojo Challenge is to see how many miles we, as a team, we can run collectively WHILE Dustin is running 1,200 miles, from California to Texas.
Dustin starts his run Saturday, August 15th. Running With Eric has over 400 team members now, let’s see how many TOTAL miles we can run during Dustin's journey! This means to run as often and as much as you can and feel comfortable doing, with the focus on fun and creating run Mojo.
Run to breakfast, run to the store, take the kids running, run some place new, run at night, run 2 miles further than you have ever run before. Stay within yourself and your ability, but try to do as many runs as possible and make it as fun as possible. Introduce someone new to running, with a run around the block.
This could mean 5, one mile runs throughout the day or one long run, or anything in between. There is no run too short or too long, it all adds up. So get creative and challenge yourself to add to the team total. Many of you will be out training anyway, so just log your daily training miles here in the FORUM section.
To keep it simple, log your DAILY run miles in the FORUM section under Mojo Run – Dustin's Run Mojo. Try to log your miles after each run so we can watch the miles add up daily. We will keep a running tally of the total miles run by the team, so the focus will be on Team participation and Team Mojo!
I will randomly choose a "runner of the week" throughout the challenge who will receive a current Training Package of their choice.
Have fun – have Mojo!
