Welcome to this daily running blog

Colleen Bechtel

Follow my journey of running every day and discovering the joy, discipline, and personal growth that come from staying active. Here you’ll find daily reflections, milestones, lessons learned, and encouragement for your own fitness journey.

People often ask how I do it, so I have decided to write about it. On June 6, 2022 I started a new year of running three miles every day. This blog is about my daily runs, thoughts, struggles, and successes during the 4th anniversary and 5th anniversary of the run streak.

After a long break, I am back to journaling here about my daily runs. I hope you enjoy and find inspiration!
