1,003 days

A friend has been running for 1003 days in a row as of today. His 1001st day was a half marathon in the snow over the weekend. 

I decided if he can, while raising a family, supporting his wife going back to school  and working full time, find time every day to train to run half and whole marathons, train that many days in a row, I can find 10-15 minutes a day  to work out.

This provided some entertainment tonight, as I was heading down to get my time in on the elliptical machine and the boss was a step ahead of me to do the same thing, although he does use wants more time. I was saved from having to be second by the above-mentioned friend, who called to ask him a question.

I raced downstairs and put on The Prairie Home Companion podcast and jumped on the elliptical. This was great, except it is cold outside tonight and the furnace kicked on while I was on the machine. The problem is that the machine fits in our basement directly underneath the furnace vent. Got a little warm...Must remember to turn fan off next time!

I started this yesterday when I realized our first softball practice for the year, and yours truly is an assistant coach, is about a month away. I need to be ready to keep up with the team, therefore am promising myself 30 days of exercise and eating right. 

Day 2. That's a streak for me.

Be Happy! Be Healthy! Be sure to manage some mischief!
