Covid Community Challenge Week #4

We started the Covid Challenge, early into the shelter in place and stay at home precautions. What was then practically unimaginable has become the new normal.  As we wrap week 3 and launch week 4 of the challenge, it’s important to remember we’re all human. Our best laid plans and goals go sideways and when they do, we adapt. How we adapt is a choice. Our challenges are an invitation to choose to engage the uncertainty of quarantine with hope and positivity. You got this.

Challenge Specifics

1. Find a friend with great taste in music.
2. Create a running playlist on Spotify or another streaming platform.
3. Share your playlist with your friend (and with us on social, if you’re into that!)
4. Run to the rhythm! Music makes everything a little better.
