Happy 4 Years of Run Streaking! 12.27.2015

It's easy for me to remember the last time I didn't run.  I was celebrating Christmas with my high school besties out in Hawaii Kai and we stayed past dark.  When I got home I told myself that I deserved a break since everyone needs a rest day and I decided not to go out for a run (even though I could have). I hadn't had a rest day since Thanksgiving at that point.  Anyhow, I took that day off and after that I decided to try streaking and the rest if history.

Running every day has become a part of my routine. I never ask myself if I will, it's always when will I?  As a full time working mom with 2 very active children I have to schedule my runs just like I schedule anything else.  Sometimes I know that it has to be a very short mile and other times its a frenzied OMG hurry up and do the mile before it's too late!  In the last 4 years I have learned to run in the rain, learned that in Hawaii I can normally count on 12 minutes of ok weather, I have learned to go to events looking like I just ran, I have learned to pack my running clothes in my car, I have learned to "live" in my running clothes, and I have learned to run through some pain (think days after the marathon).  

 More importantly though, I have learned a lot about who I am. I know that I am very goal oriented, I know that I can pretty much accomplish anything I set my mind to, and I know that I am surrounded by some very amazing and supportive peeps.
So, day 1462, year 4 is in the books and another year begins.  :) Let's get this party started!!
