Today marks day 450 of my running streak! It dates back to December 27, 2011 when I began running a minimum of one mile a day. In this time frame I have run 2,225 miles. Sounds pretty crazy doesn't it?!!! To me too. I never ever would have thought I would make it this far but every time I wanted to stop the voice inside my head would tell me, "It's just one mile, 10 minutes out of your life, get out there and do it!" And so I ran every day. The shortest run has been a mile and the longest 26.2. I have run solo, chasing my kids on their bikes, and with my friends. Some days were hot as hell, others rained so much that it broke my phone. Some runs really sucked while other gave me life. I lost weight and gained weight. Through it all I have learned about who I am and the strength that is within me. I have surpassed all my goals and have become strong in many ways. I am a runner.
