Day 8: Two miles on the treadmill at the Kerr Y. Listened to Sticky Fingers by the Rolling Stones.
I didn't feel like battling the heat today so I took it inside and on the treadmill for a bit. I needed to zone out and the Rolling Stones obliged me with some great tunes. Had to skip one or two songs because they were too slow but I was pleasantly surprised at the rhythm I could keep. It was also nice to be a "nobody" at the Y.
Day 9: One mile loop through the neighborhood.
Today was a test. As people hear about my streak they either encourage me or express doubt and warnings about the toll all this running could take on my body. My knees felt a bit funny and my back was tight and sore from the X Train workout on Wednesday. I've done my research and I know the potential dangers. I would love to quiet all the doubters but I do worry about the stress of running every day. What would I end up with today?
Thankfully everything held together. My stretching and strength workouts need to happen with more regularity or I'm going to end up a mess on the side of the road one day.
Looking forward to a three day weekend and a chance to relax.
Ryan
