On September 5, 2020, I joyfully bounded down a ski slope called “Caribou” at Hilltop Ski Area in Anchorage, AK to a round of applause by my wife and a few random bystanders. I had just run another Half Marathon. By crossing the 13.1 miles mark yet again, my goal of running a Half Marathon in all 50 states was officially complete. What started as a simple and impromptu personal challenge a few years out of college turned into a massive multi-year commitment. The perspective gained throughout the experience has permanently changed my outlook on life.

Streaking. That word has a very different meaning to me these days compared to my college days rummaging around the UNC Charlotte campus. My present day interpretation of streaking is to run at least one mile every single day. This time, fortunately, with clothes on. I’ve been streaking two full years without a single day off. I’ve learned a lot about running, grit, will, and pure love for a hobby turned necessity.

Inside the Mind of a 13 Year Old Grom

Guest Contributor: Cain Steinweg
Hi, I’m Cain. I'm 13 years old and I live in Breckenridge, CO. Outside of school, I love to run, Nordic ski, and play soccer. Living in an active "mountain town" like Breck, I get to see so many beautiful outdoor places and get to experience so many different things on a regular basis. It's pretty dang cool.
