Squeaky Chicken Mile Week 36: Macklind Mile in Reverse

Week 36 of the Squeaky Chicken Mile was a group run of the Macklind Mile course... in reverse! ????????‍♀️ This one was pretty low-key, but sometimes those are the best runs. It was hot, we accidentally ran through a sprinkler (eww, soggy chicken), and I got a surprise while editing the video. In the background, I could hear a couple of runners talking about seeing me at a track meet in the chicken suit. One of them said it was funny and that they needed to follow me. THE PLAN IS WORKING! GROW SQUEAKY CHICKEN FLOCK, GROW! ???? One of the funniest parts about running in the suit is that I miss so many of those little interactions. Between the fan and the costume, I usually can't hear what people are saying as I run by. It's always fun to discover those moments later while editing. That's a big part of why I keep doing these miles. If dressing like a squeaky chicken can make someone laugh, start a conversation, or inspire someone to join a group run, then it's worth every sweaty mile. And yes... the campaign continues: ???? ChicknLegs, I'm still waiting on that squeaky chicken pattern! ???? collab!! ????
