Have you heard about the Saucony Find Your Strong Project? Saucony is encouraging runners to “share your strong” to inspire, challenge, and encourage each other.
Each week has a different theme, and you can share “your strong” on their site for a chance to win prizes (including Saucony running shoes).
I love the theme of “strong” because strength signifies overall health and fitness and includes mental strength, which can be so important to running.
My strong is
. . . setting my alarm for 5:00 am on a Saturday to run with my friend.
. . . bundling up for a cold winter run.
. . . plotting well-lit routes for o’dark-thirty runs.
. . . putting in the training to meet my goals.
. . . cross-training to ward off injury.
. . . learning to love yoga because my body needs it.
What is your strong?

I think their "find your strong" is great, but man o MAN some people are misunderstanding the point of it, (in my opinion)., DailyMile has become a fashion show lately with people uploading random race photos in more of a show-off manner than what the theme is asking for. My opinion of course.
Yes, a 5:00 am alarm on a Saturday IS a strong thing! 🙂
Coco, your strong list da bomb!!!!! My strong list involves not eating large cake slices everyday even though I wants to, errr something errr other….
My strong right now is pushing through chronic pain and intermittent hormone-related depression and swinging, snatching, pressing, squatting kettlebells anyway!
Being in the communications/marketing field, I have to say that the campaign is one of the best I've seen from a running shoe company — by taking a simple phrase and getting everyone involved is getting a lot of people to talk about their product without even realizing it. It's a big win for them, but it's also a big win for runners of all levels to stop and think about what motivates them. It's also been a lot of fun to see so many people get involved with it.
