Welcome to this week’s summary of all the posts that appeared here at Running with Miles throughout the week.
Big Around The World Trip Coming Up!
In case you had not noticed (or known), we are just 4 weeks out from what is sure to be an epic trip (and I hate using the work epic so you know it must be something else!)! In 28 days, I will set out to run 6 marathons on 6 continents in under 5 days! Of course, all of the travel will be done using miles and I will be doing it all in premium cabins (including my favorite – Etihad’s A380 First Apartment for 14 hours to Sydney!) and about $200 in taxes and fees.
The charity for this major run is Wounded Warrior Project, a great way to honor US vets and give a little something back to them. Please check out my Wounded Warrior Project page here. If you want to join along in any part of the final run, we are going to have some people running along a marathon route in Washington DC as the final marathon. It should be a blast!
