Ending the Streak?

Today was the first day that would have been a good day to end my running streak…

I did not want to get up and run this morning. So I didn’t.

I did not want to run on the treadmill after work. So I didn’t.

All I had to do to keep the streak alive was run was ONE mile. I decided to run outside in hopes I would get in the groove. Unfortunately, that never did happen. The first mile lasted forever and was a 10:51.

How was I ever going to run 100 miles this month? I ran one mile out so I would have to run one mile back. Two miles is an acceptable run. Then I had a heart to heart about digging deep and going for my sub 10:30 goal. It was at that point I took a detour which would be one half mile “out” to finish mile two with a 10:32.

Mile three was an uneventful 10:30 as I knew was on the “back” of both out and back segments and would finish up with 3.1 miles.

While it was a good day to end my running streak – I didn't! And the alarm is already set for tomorrow morning’s run…
