So, yeah. 30 days. Almost a third of the way through and we're hanging in there.There is a school of thought that it takes 21 days of doing the same thing in order for that thing to become habit-forming. Other research suggests it's likely that it takes longer, maybe as long as 66 days, perhaps, depending on what that thing is.
Finding time to get a run in while things are fairly comfortable is no big deal right? Providing things go as they typically do in our lives, there's comfort in routine. And like anything, running and/or working out can become routine. It can get tricky if the routine is upset. Travel, maybe. Or weather. Or maybe you catch a cold or something at work comes up. Pre-planning can help in certain instances, but how do you account for wanting to put a few miles in when you're not really feeling up to it?
For me, I wonder what Soni's doing and envision her running those stairs just off of Memorial Drive. Or Ab gutting out that brutal half marathon last summer. But, I think it's gotten to the point now that I know I'll feel pretty good after I get those runs in.
The one thing I will say is that I don't think I can really do more than four miles on a treadmill The run I had two days ago along Cook Inlet here in Anchorage, was only four miles, but it was unbelievable. Nine in the morning, still dark, icy, cold, but no wind. The sun came up as we were running. Can. Not. Wait. To get outside on a regular basis.
30 days in the books. Only 70 more to go. 70.
