There is something special about every 100 days. Each time I hit a 100 day milestone I feel a sense of accomplishment and of deep gratitude. I am proud of the commitment and the stamina to keep up the streak. It isn’t easy and there are some days where I do have to sacrifice some sleep or an event.
Mostly I am grateful that I can still run every day. I don’t know how long I will be able to do this and I don’t want to take it for granted. People ask me all the time why do I do it and I usually just answer, “because I can.” It really is that simple. I love to run and I can.
There are many people who can’t run and I dedicated my run today to a very good friend’s son, Joshua Logan, who was in a motorcycle accident one year ago that left him paralyzed. With advances in medicine and with determination there is hope that he may someday walk again. He has a long journey ahead in order to do that and I will cheer and pray for him along the way.
Until that day, I will keep running as long as I can.
And I will run happy!
