I Run Like Phoebe and My Friend Tara

Running makes my insides jiggle, and I'm certain I look like Phoebe off an old episode of Friends. Need a better mental picture? Try this.

That’s how I feel about running, jigglish and Phoebe-ish.

My friend Tara doesn't consider herself a runner either, but she's running. She's running because she's found a reason.

Here's today's Share Your Story from my friend, Tara, author of Polkotte Press, mama, writer, get off the porcher.

And now Tara.

Human trafficking.

Perhaps you’re like me. You know the term. You know it’s a problem and think quite frankly, that you don’t want to get closer to the issue.

It’s not because you don’t care, you do. Too much. And it hurts to know there is such evil in the world and not be able to do anything about it.

But you can! That’s the great part.

You can grab the sneakers in your closet and take to the street.

Run. Run for their lives.

I am joining a team of blogger-runners who are tracking their daily miles, or running their races on behalf of the organization Love146. It’s simple, really. The goal is to get 146 people to run 146 miles in a year to raise awareness {and/or some cash} to help this great organization.

Check out our daily mile challenge page to add your name to the list of runners. It’s that simple.

You don’t run you say? Oh, my neighbors wish I didn’t either. Let me tell you, if this mama can do it, you can too, but if running is out, think of walking for Love146, or making 146 care packages for a local shelter. Really, the options are endless. 

After all, it’s not the type of movement that matters – (“Jazzercising for their lives” just didn’t have the same ring). Just that we put our humanity in motion, and put a face with this cause.

Raise your voice. Raise awareness. Raise hope.

Now go. Go run {or crochet} for their lives.
