This is #2 of the five things I wrote about after my first year of running every day.
In the beginning of the run streak it was very important to plan out the week. Based on my work schedule, the weather, and my hair washing schedule (yes, that is a thing for some of us girls) I would do my best to plan my week up front. Many times I did what I called “bookends” where I would run at night then early the next morning which would give me over 24 hours until the next run the next night.
The important thing is I had a schedule and a plan. This way I could keep my appointments with myself and go run. I ran when I didn’t feel like it, when I was tired, and when the weather was crappy. Why…because it was important. So the lesson, when it is important put it on your calendar and don’t deviate.
