You still have until midnight to get your daily run in. Streakers sometimes have to get their runs in at crazy times or in crazy conditions to keep a streak alive. I'm not suggesting that you shirk your other responsibilities. But there are still plenty of hours in the day left...just saying.

I think I actually read somewhere that it takes 21 days to form a habit, or to get something embedded into your daily routine. So start with that goal - try to hit that 21 day mark.

Some habits are more addictive than others. I find that running can be very addictive. Since I do almost all of my running in the early morning, I remember a time last year when my wife was out of town and I had to stay home with my three kids, I was a nervous wreck until I was able to get my run in for the day. (Kind of sad, really...but that seems to be the nature of the beast.) On a completely unrelated note: I was thinking Jeff, Better Off Dead could have been the perfect movie if they would have just left out the clay-mation hamburger rock star and french fries. Of course, today's kids would miss out on a lot of the humor as they would be wondering things like "Who the heck is Howard Cosell?" Better Off Dead ranks right up there with Fletch and Dumb and Dumber (in my humble opinion) as having some of the most brilliant humor ever put into a motion picture.

i'm going to have to check out better off dead! Thanks for the encouragement guys! I got out there today and ran 3 which really looking at my log I'm impressed my first attempt lasted as long as it did and that my break was 1 day! But i'm hoping back in the saddle!
