Runstreak

Running is interesting.  It is the only exercise that I will consistently do.  For many, many years I've wanted to do yoga consistently, but I forget, or get lazy, and just don't do it.  I enjoy spin class, but don't do it.  I did weights for awhile but got bored (after close to 2 years).  Running seems to be the only thing that I will do regularly and always go back to.  (Actually, since starting 8 years ago, I've never stopped unless injured). 

But there are also times when I feel like running a lot and times when I don't feel like running at all.  When I went to Hawaii I wanted to run all the time, even after I got home.  I loved it.  It kinda felt like Hawaii gave me a little boost.  However, my Alaska cruise had the opposite affect.  I didn't want to run on the boat, and since I've been home, I haven't wanted to run hardly at all.  I am keeping my run streak, but barely.  

In Hawaii I ran 1 mile only a couple times in 10 days and when I came home I wanted to keep that up.  Since March I have run more than 1 mile 5 days a week, which I haven't done for several years (usually 3+ miles 3 or 4 times a week).  I even hit 100 miles in a month for 4 months, only one month in 5 was under 100 miles and it was 95 miles.  Then we went on a cruise in August and the treadmills were awful, and I quit running so much.  In August I only made it to 81 miles, and since getting off the boat, I've only run 4 times a week (more than a mile) and my longest run has been 5 miles (one time).  I will say, that for 3 of those 4 weeks I've been sick, but I really haven't felt like running. 

Anyway, I am still running, a lot of 1 miles and 3 miles, but it is still a streak.  I know I was going to go for a year, and my year is up on November 1, but I've been thinking about extending it to at least the end of this year.  Then I can say I ran every single day in 2019, which I think is kinda cool. 

And I think I'll end with a couple cute baby photos.  =)
