So today I managed to complete my 365th run in my runstreak... so a year of running every day for me. Now- I do not recommend this unless you have been running for a few years and feel it could work for you... So, I decided to do it as I had felt the need for a long time to work out WHEN I was going to fit my run in whether than IF as I have a very busy life and I spent too long procrastinating. It gave me no choice. I do alot of slow one mile runs and these are incredibly restorative after full on days at work etc.
Mostly I go out very early in the morning. I have a theory that the first light brings with it energy and positivity, although the last few weeks have been full on darkness!
So today I set out wearing GOLD, I wanted to wear something to mark the occasion but I knew it was cold so I improvised alot. I took to the streets listening to 80's music.... Simple Minds, Pet Shop boys, INXS and Frankie Goes to Hollywood. I ran smiling, crying ( it hasnt always been easy), singing and dancing. I shouted hello to Princess, my daughters horse, and I ran down the middle of our local streets throwing my arms in the air and singing. I had a few gawps but I didnt care!!
I love running ( can you tell?!!), its my go to, my happy place, my therapy. I will continue to do this until such a time that I am not able to physically, and I feel so blessed that I can...

Wonderful post ju-ju - congratulations and huge respect for 365 days of running! Your love of this running thing is contagious May you have many more days (and years) of happy runs to come.
What an amazing outfit! I love your philosophy of WHEN, not IF. I particularly love morning runs this time of year, when the sunrises are quite spectacular, so I agree that there's nothing like the positivity of a morning run.
