Do you Streak?

Yesterday was Day 77 of my #RunStreak ... Day 77. As the days increase I've grown more and more impressed with what my body is capable of - not necessarily speed, but very pleased with the fact it's not in total revolt.

This streak technically started the day before Thanksgiving, 2014. The fact that I'm closer to a triple digit streak number than 50 is remarkable to me. There have been a few days where I've actually gotten emotional about my progress. My treadmill speed has significantly increased, and I'm working on translating that progress to outdoor running. Some may find that unusual, but there's something to be said for the benefit of speed control on the treadmill - you can increase the speed very easily and remarkably your legs learn to accept and thrive on that speed. Unfortunately I don't have that same kind of control outside.

Yesterday was a rough one - I just didn't want to - so I sucked it up, put on the '2 Legit 2 Quit' socks to boost the spirits, and just did it.

Some days you just have to just do it.
