100 Days*!! Today, in the pouring rain with my daughter riding her bike beside me, I completed a challenge I set for myself at the beginning of the year. For the past 100 days I have run/walked (mostly run!) a minimum of one mile EVERY SINGLE DAY. I haven't missed one. Why? Because I have crazy friends (I won't mention you here, Lauri and Jen, don't worry, your secret is safe with me!) and I figured if they could do it, I could do it. So I did. Yes, the past 100 days have included sickness (me and my kids), travel (running in the White Mountains of NH is all uphill...all of it. Even the downhill parts), single parenting, crazy schedules, early mornings and late nights. And it was all totally worth it.
It has been a wonderful 100 days and I can't wait to expand my training a bit to include biking and swimming as I train for the next challenge I recently put on my plate. But for now, I'm basking in the glow of this accomplishment with a smile on my face and a bowl of ice cream in my hands. And know what I'll do tomorrow morning?? I'll probably go for a run....
My kids made a 100 day banner for me and were waiting for me at the end of my run this morning.
*Yes, I realize it is only the 99th day of the year, but I started my challenge on December 31st so while everyone else who did this challenge has one more day to go, I'm basking today. Life is good!
