Every. Single. Day.

Like all of us these days, I’m too busy to exercise, and yet I managed to run Every.Single.Day. for a year—and believe me, if I can do it, you can do it too!

We all know there are simple things we could and should be doing on a daily basis to help us live better lives. We should drink more water, eat better, get lots of sleep, and exercise. Right? But that’s easier said than done!

After trying a series of 30-day challenges to varying degrees of success, Julie van Amerongen found her tribe in an amazing community of runners known as streakers (no, not the ones who take their clothes off!) who run Every.Single.Day. without fail. She became hooked.

Getting out the door every day is challenging for anyone, yet somehow, Julie managed to squeeze running in no matter where life took her—to multiple states and countries, in snow and on sand, while hungry and full, drunk or hungover, and well…everywhere.

By turns intimate, funny, relatable, and inspirational, Julie peppers her adventures with insights how and why she has kept on running every day and how you (yes, you) can too.

Julie van Amerongen is the longtime Director of Programs and Events at Conscious Capitalism where she produces both the annual CEO Summit and Spring Conferences. Julie is fascinated by the intersection of personal practice and optimal living and is also the Founder of The Practice Project, a collection of inspirational interviews on daily habits with superstars from all walks of life.

Like all of us, I’m too busy. I’m a mom with a job, crazy kids and a ragtag menagerie. After life took a left turn I found my way again through day by day practice. It’s my first book. It won’t be my last. I am still running every.single.day.
