Before you read this Q & A, be sure to read my review on Running With Raven; it will give you a good idea as to what the book is about! I wanted to get Paula Harkin’s thoughts on the book Running With Raven by Laura Lee Huttenbach. Like the Raven, Harkin is a streaker; and like the Raven, Harkin is a connector. She’s nearing the 3,000th day in her running streak, and has brought together thousands…
Run Oregon loves inspirational runners. No matter your pace, reading about someone else’s running journey – especially when they’ve accomplished something amazing or overcome a huge obstacle – likely makes you want to lace up and head out. So when I was offered the chance to read an advance copy of Running With Raven by Laura Lee Huttenbach, not only did I want to read it, but I wanted to hear what our favorite local…
It has been 39 days since we started this journey together…39 days of crazy weather, holiday parties, quality time with family and friends, longer days at work in preparation for the new year and food, a lot of gloriously decadent food.

No, no, no not that kind of streaking! I’m talking about a running streak. For those of you who don’t know, a running streak is running a specific distance for a set number of days consecutively. Streaking can be a fun and challenging way to motivate yourself to get out and get running, especially this time of year when the days are short, the rain doesn’t seem to stop and the holiday season is upon…
You may have heard other people mention this “holiday streak” or just “streaking” in general – not the naked running kind, the running every day kind – and wondered, “is that a thing?” Yes, it’s a thing, and today’s the first day to kick it off. (I also support starting it the day after Thanksgiving, because if this is your first day off in a while, you should get to do whatever you want. A…
* Which works better for you, group fitness classes or gym membership? Truth be told, in our part of the country, you can probably get by with neither and just run outside, rain or shine. (I’m kind of a wimp when it comes to bad weather, though, and my addiction to TV makes the treadmill somewhat appealing.) * Move aside, Lou Gehrig and Cal Ripken. Here’s a true iron man, a guy who’s run eight…
