one of my very best friends has celebrated the 4th day of march for years. i never understood the significance of the day... i thought it was just a clever play on words (as he is prone to such things) and that it must have some life significance to him but i never really asked until a few days ago.
as we were chatting via text i asked if he was doing anything special on march 4th. i knew that the answer would be yes and that i'd learn about some awesome plans that he had to be out in nature.
i was right... he is headed to the desert with one of his good friends for hiking over the weekend.
he also encouraged me to find my own limits edge and do something. so that got me thinking... and i wanted to know if this was an actual
thing... an actual holiday, or if it was just
his thing. google is incredibly effective when learning new things. i found
this,
this, and
this.
so dear friends and readers... let's jump on the bandwagon! what do
YOU plan to do to honor your body, honor your mind, and push your limits on this unofficial holiday? what does this look like for you? what could this mean for you?
for me... i'm going to run at one of my most favorite places and do 12miles (already on my training schedule). i am going to run 2 loops of the black loop at
lapham. each loop is 6.4 -6.6 (depending on your garmin) although this map marks it at 7... it is not 7 miles. i intend to power through it to the best of my abilities under whatever the given conditions of the trail are. when i was at the park earlier this week it was snow covered but i'm hoping that will be somewhat gone by tomorrow.
get out there and be limitless! enjoy your day and then tell me all about it!
