6.12 miles (total: 1528.64 miles)
100 days to go until 1 year of running :) Oh, man.... hard to believe. It feels like I have been running for a lot longer than 265 days...
Today was all about slow and steady... I ran one step at a time, without asking for speed or distance from my body... the snow was wet and heavy. I just went out 3 miles, and then had to come back home somehow (since our driveway is still not drive-able), so that made it 6+ miles altogether..
As they say there’s no such thing as bad weather, just soft people. And I kept putting one foot in front of the other, it wasn't gracious or light, but I moved and that's all that mattered made it to Newcastle and back. Not every run will make you feel great. But the magic in my running life so far has been the magic of consistency. Perhaps, that's one of the biggest gifts from the 265 days so far.
You see, once you decide to run farther and longer and non-stop and for a year or longer, the quest centers much more on the tenacity than talent (I don't think I have any when it comes to running).
100 days! I look forward to it. It will be a pleasure to cross that "finish line" and celebrate what only a year ago would have been a crazy idea.
