Streak Days 6 – 10

OMG! I actually achieved this goal! I ran every morning before going to the office and worked 12 hour days Mon, Tue and Wed. Updating my status on Facebook was the perfect level of accountability.

Monday’s high was a carryover of the previous five days. The streak began with vacation, holiday and weekend days and the big question was would an incredibly stressful work week cause a break in the streak?

Tuesday’s goal was two mile repeats of one mile out then one mile back. While returning home I realized if I kept my focus on mile three I might have a sub 30 min 5K so I went for it. 30:07 :)

Just running on Wednesday was a huge success because I worked until 9pm on Tuesday, then couldn’t turn off my mind until well past midnight.

Thursday’s weather was hot and humid. I decided to take what the morning was bringing and simply enjoy running. Soon after entering the house it began to rain which confirmed the high humidity wasn’t my imagination.

Hubby was out of town, so Friday morning’s challenge was to integrate dog duty into my “new” morning routine and still get to the office on time. After getting up even earlier and taking our walk, the dogs lined up and patiently watched me run on the treadmill.
