I have been running for 13 days straight now, and completed just over 50 miles (50.07.) I have 14 more days to go, and I'm still hoping to make it to 100+ miles. Here is the breakdown on the first half of our running streak:

There have been some days when I'm starting to be a little more tired than usual during my run. Yesterday, I was totally not feeling running. I decided to slow it way down, and just take it easy. I felt much better today. I think Travis is starting to feel it too. He didn't run until about 8:30 last night, and then he woke up early this morning and ran before work. Sometimes I think we are both ready to give up, but we are both too competitive to actually give in. It's very motivating to see how quickly the miles are adding up though!

Tomorrow, I'm doing something kind of exciting...I'm helping out my neighbor for just a couple hours in the morning by watching her 6-month old daughter. Avery tends to be jealous, which is natural for her age, but I think it will be good for her, and for me. In January, Avery is getting a little cousin, and this will be a little test run for how she will do when I'm holding another baby. My plan is to bring out some of Avery's baby toys, and hopefully we can all play. It's only for 2 hours, so I know I can manage.
