It feels like I should be a lot further along in my walking/running journey than I am. Probably because I'm ambitious and play out things in my head more than I should. Anybody else? Yeah, I thought so!
But, the weather hasn't exactly been kind to me, being spring in Wisconsin. This week it's in the mid-30s again, with lows dipping into the 20s. And the wind today was brutal! Thankfully the sun is out. That sunshine makes all the difference for me. It's like we are intertwined or something.
Today I hit 147 miles. It's day 104, and I guess even though I feel like I should be farther along, it's also still crazy to me that I have walked every single day for one hundred and four days. That I'm approaching the 150 mile mark.
My mental health would be so bad right now if it weren't for this walking discipline that I created. It would be so hard to force myself off the couch, honestly. And I also might not actually be getting anything done indoors either because of lack of energy. As it is, walking daily has bolstered my energy.
That previous paragraph seems like common sense, and it's all stuff I've told myself for years, but it obviously just took forever to set in. I'm also getting a better handle on my stress eating now that we are a few weeks into this quarantine situation. People are saying there's a light at the end of the tunnel, but I'm unsure. It feels like we're in this for the long haul.
Meanwhile, I keep walking, and pushing myself on the days I feel I am able. And soon I'll be passing 200 miles. I just know it.
