100 days of planning when and where to run. 100 days of deciding if it was worth it or not to continue. 100 days of putting on my running clothes. 100 days of lacing up my shoes. 100 days of success.
I have attempted streaks before and was honestly not sure if I would ever want to attempt another one again. I wasn't as invested. For whatever reason, I am now and I have enjoyed the past 100 days and I look forward to the next however many I am able to do (with the ultimate goal being 500 days in a row). I am in it for the long haul, mostly because I couldn't imagine starting over with day 1 again, but also because I enjoy getting out for at least 15 minutes every single day.
Those 15 minutes are mine and no one can take them away. Some days I did the minimum of 1 mile and other days I ran a half marathon. No matter what the distance, I got out there and I did it.
I am so proud of that. I really am. I am not usually the one to stand around bragging about myself and my accomplishments, but I have learned recently that it's okay to do that when it's something that you are proud of.
So, 100 days are finished and in the books (literally, as I keep a journal of all my miles). 100 days and 263.19 miles (interval runs ONLY- does not include walking miles) later and I am smiling from ear to ear. I set a goal and I put it in motion and I am accomplishing it one day, and one mile, at a time.
