Running Every Street
Inspired by Rickey Gates who ran every single street in San Francisco and then some and Ben Pobjoy, who completed 900 marathons around the world, I am going to walk and/or run all of Old Toronto's streets. Emphasis on Old Toronto!
I’ve hit a wall with my long distance running and walking, and I am hoping this project will help me get back on track. I am not going to worry about mileage or pace to start, but instead I will focus on consistency and rediscovering the joy of moving through Toronto on foot.
Toronto is big, which means this running/walking project will be a multi-year project. But I’m not thinking that far ahead yet. For now, I’m focused on week one: choosing a starting point, figuring you how to track the streets I’ve covered, and getting out the door consistently. Luckily, I enjoy the winter, and there’s something especially satisfying about exploring Toronto streets in the quiet of the colder months. Wish me luck!
