So, I'm all set for my Winter streak. Been logging the miles since Thanksgiving. Running through the half marathon recovery pain and food comas, keeping it real. Then the endless party that is my husband's family's Thanksgiving weekend got the best of me. His sisters and their families come in from out of state and stay from Thursday to Sunday. It is food, fun, shopping, and lots of laughter the WHOLE weekend. Always a blast. Always over too soon. I don't know that I even thought about running yesterday, except when I was getting ready for dinner. I remember thinking I would be sweating off that makeup soon. Then the final meal and sad goodbyes gave way to tree hunting and mad decorating with my littles. I went to bed without laying out my kiddo's clothes, making lunches and almost without setting my alarm. When I woke up, the FIRST thing that popped into my head was, "Aaaaagh! I didn't run yesterday." Then I spent a little time regrouping, laughing at myself and deciding my streak will just have to be December 1st through New Years'. I can handle that, well barring a Christmas debacle. That Holiday, believe it or not isn't quite as busy for us.
So, new plan. I plan to run every day from today to January 1st. Maybe I can keep up with it this time.
Off I go. 4 miles on my treadmill. [sarcastic] Wahoo! It still counts. ;-)
