I’ve learned to apply the 1% to work, home, and just life in general. But knowing that they are pursuing their 1% better everyday, it pushes me forward. I know everyone is facing their hardships, and whatever life decides to throw at them for the day.
To win the money and equipment is cool, but to know that I started this race with over 200 runners, and now be in the last 61 is an honor. I found 3 things to be grateful for everyday. During my 1 mile quests, I learned about gratitude on my walks. My son always made sure I did my mile, so did my dog Cooper. Paul LaRocca: I remember starting, and thinking to myself, “This is gonna be easy.” Well, throw in everyday life, mixed with riots and protests from May to November, 12-hour overnight tours, being dead ass tired, monsoons, blizzards, and below zero cold – it all came together to make me 1% better everyday. What was a competition turned into something that was a daily habit, and it was nice to know I wasn’t doing it alone. I forced friends and family to join, making those my favorite runs. I ran a mile in a hurricane, a snowstorm, the heat, the dark, and in seven different states. It was an easy way for me to channel my competitiveness in a healthier manner and get myself outside every day, no matter what. Lily Ford: This challenge was something I heard about and quickly signed up for. Here’s what they had to say: The Runners Lily Ford Since we just crossed the one-year mark, we thought it would be a great time to catch up with some of the runners still participating in the challenge. The contest has generated close to 50,000 miles run and just under 7.5 million calories burned (roughly 150 calories per mile). It’s now one year later and there are still more than 60 people in, and going strong! All still competing for the grand prize, a pot of money just over $5100.Ħ0 runners may sound like a lot, but they’ve outlasted over 190 runners, as the original pool closed out at 252 people. Sounds like a great idea, right? Well, 252 runners agreed, and signed up. Run a minimum of one mile, outside, every day. The O2X Team put their heads together to answer the million dollar question: “How can we keep people motivated to workout through the pandemic?” We were all facing lockdowns, uncertainty, remote work, closed gyms, canceled sports, etc.
