Running has long been a passion of mine and has only gotten stronger as I have grown increasingly busy. In my adulthood, running has become a form of meditation to relax and let go of unimportant stressers. Jake Runs 365 will follow my journey as I attempt to run 365 days and will be documented through cell phone images on my Blackberry Tour. The idea came to me after watching a video of Chase Jarvis speak about his BEST CAMERA application which you can download on iTunes for your iPhone. Inspirated by Dean Karnazes, former coaches (both high school and college), the athletes I coach, friends and family, and most importantly – my beautiful wife, I hope to complete 365 days straight of running.
The Goal: 365 days of running, without a day of rest, documented on a cell phone
The Rules: No less than 20 minute runs with a daily average of more than 30 minutes.
Additional Non-Essential Goals: 1) Make the original daily average 45 minutes, 2) run in many different places including different states and countries, 3) get my wife to run once and a while with me, 4) get former athletes I have coached to run with me, 5) get clients of my wedding and lifestyle photography business to run with me
