guess what!!!!
i can still say i have run every day this year. getting to be more of an impressive statement than it was jan. 2. somedays it's been 1 mile somedays more. but it has been everyday.
here is first perk- monday i had off from work. so my plan was to come straight home after 5:45am spin class and go back to bed, which i did. (i have been jumping on the treadmill after to get in my minimum mile for the day.) i figured i had the rest of the day to get in a run, which i did. however, as usually happens on days off the time just seems to speed up and disappear. before i knew it it was 7pm and i still needed to get to the grocery and make dinner. i had the fleeting thought to call the whole thing off again thinking of all the struggles it might save me in the future...but i did not. and boy am i glad! you rarely get to see the ripple effect of a commitment that you make, but this say i did. and i liked it.
as soon as i said i'm going to get in a quick mile before the store eli said he wanted to come. then because maggie didn't want eli to get more miles than her she was in. next up was drew who is slowly making his way to oklahoma city with his miles. all the kids were in without me even asking or begging. a first..... so chris and roxy joined us and we had a family mile run. AMAZING to say the least. it was one of those few times as a parent when you know you have done at least a few things right and have for the moment achieved an outcome so longingly desired. i savored it.
just an update: maggie biked 20 miles and run/walked 4
eli biked 9 miles and run 9
drew biked 2 and run/walked 4
not a bad start for the year.....
still running
