It’s been 4 days but I’m already starting to remember what motivates in the early stages.  I’ve so far felt motivation fueled by anger, shame, dedication… and now “the streak..”  This was one I hadn’t felt since my college days of 100 mile weeks… the idea of running for the sake of keeping a streak alive..running because I ran yesterday.  This is not the best motivator because it’ll be easy to shake this one off once “the streak” becomes something more than a novelty but, for now, I’ll take what I can get.  Chalk today’s run up to keeping “the streak” alive!

I decided to share this one on the boys blog also because I wanted to share with them, someday, my journey to getting in shape.  An old friend (we’re all old..just to clarify) Andrea reminded me that one of the benefits of traveling down this path to getting back in shape will be to set a good example for my little monkeys… The journey will be tracked on GetRunningAgain.com but it’s important I archive it here too…
