32 Consecutive Years of Running

The latter part of October, I crossed the 32 year milestone of running day after day. I wish I could say that I did something special, but I didn’t. I got up, stretched, and headed out the door. I crossed off another day of running and went on with my day.

When other runners learn of my streak, one question frequently tops their list. How do I do it?  For lack of a better answer, I tell them that I don’t think about it. I just go do it. If I took the time to think about it, I might talk myself out of it.

That’s my best advice to anyone. If there is something that you want to do, don’t think about it. Just say, “I am going to do it” and let nothing else interfere with your efforts to do it.

Happy Trails
