S1E19 - #runstreak day 8 - follow-up and community check-in
I ran a mile! Yaaay! It's the second-longest runstreak I've ever done. I've had a 60-day streak and a 7-day streak, and now there's an 8-day one smushed right up in the middle. Hooray! Hip hip! Today's run was pretty easy. A 9:27 mile, and my...
S1E18 - #runstreak day 7: Proper Running Form
I did a 5k! Just like I told y'all I was going to! And it was super easy and super hard...depending on which point in the run we're talking about. I wore my Altras today since I expected a longer run, and they were awesome except for the laces coming...
S1E17 - #runstreak day 6: yoga on the side
The week is almost done! The week is almost done! The streak is almost done...? Really? Is it? No. No, it isn't. The streak is gonna keep going. The streak has been one of the best things that's happened to me in a long, long time. Y'all's support for...
S1E16 - #runstreak day 5: Staying Motivated to Run
Day 5 is over and done! I went for a run, just did a single mile...and it was horrible! Seriously. I feel great now, but while I was running, all I could think about was sitting on my couch with a laptop in my lap and something awesome on TV. ...
S1E15 - #runstreak day 5: Food, Running Shoes, and Monkey Feet
Day 4! Woo! I only ran a mile today, but I did it faster than I did yet: 8:54. I look forward to when my typical mile time gets down to the 7:50-8min mark again. That's always a good boost to my confidence. I ate myself a pretty good sweet potato...
S1E14 - #runstreak day 3: It's okay for runners to take walk breaks
First of all, tomorrow's gonna be food day. I pushed it a day because I wanted to talk about something else that's on my mind because day 3 of the #runstreak went phenomenally well. I was able to do 2.3 miles, and they were great. I felt great,...
S1E13 - #runstreak day 2: the weigh-in
Day two of the runstreak happened. I recorded while dripping sweat from my run (or maybe it was from the rain that started in while I was out). I ran 1.1 miles, and my shoelaces came untied at 0.9. Never try to run a quarter mile with loose shoes....
S1E12 - #runstreak day 1: What is a runstreak?
I've done a runstreak before. And I am doing it again. After looking through some pictures from just over a year ago, I see that I've gained 28-30 lbs, but not only that, my clothes don't fit. Weirdly, though, I don't feel as though I look fat. I'm...
S1E11 - Severe Anxiety Disorder. I have it. And it's okay if you do, too.
So mental health is a big topic for me right now. It has taken pretty much all of my energy and focus over the past year, honestly. To the point where I haven't focused on my physical fitness (I have gained 25lbs and run in all of 2016 what I'd have...
