Today marked the 100th day of 2013 as well as the 100th day of #AutismStreaks. I have managed to run at least 1 mile every calendar day since January 1st. My total in those 100 days? 567 miles.
It’s not a mind-blowing amount, but it is a pretty decent chunk of change. To be honest, early on I wasn’t sure I would make it to 500 miles, much less 100 days.
When I completed my run today there was no finish line, there was no medal, there were no cheering crowds – just the knowledge that, along with raising a little money for Autism Speaks, I hopefully managed to spread some awareness and maybe, just maybe, inspire a few people to do their own charity running as well (be it for Autism Speaks or one of the many other charities connected to Charity Miles).
But as I finished my run I couldn’t help but think…
…now what?
Congrats Matt. Your passion and dedication to the sport and to autism is amazing. Run and rock on!
^^what Ty said. You rock, 100 days worth!
Love. This.
Congratuations. This is huge.
My family thanks you.
I, and others at my workplace, have started using charity miles.
Matt, that is awesome. 100 days is a huge committment and I know you are deeply motivated to acheive this goal.
The total miles you ran are not as important as the committment that you kept to run for 100 days. All runners know how much of a challenge that is.
