Today I hit my first 10 day running streak this year. As you know, I’ve had a hard time finding motivation to run since last winter.

Then two weeks ago I bought a new pair of shoes. It was a reality check to talk to some of the guys at the shoe store about the hard times my running career has been on.

So, I decided to start a streak. My rules are simple and things have been going well:

• Run at least one mile a day
• I’m aiming for 2 miles each day for July
• Then add the 3rd mile in August
• And the 4th in September

I’ve went for some extra walks and big rides, but the focus is to keep running. The weight loss is coming slow - mostly beacuse of failure to diet. Stay tuned.
