It was warm at sunrise which means the temps will only soar skyward the rest of the day. It will be hot tomorrow, too. I wasn’t ready for the heat when we had a teaser of it about ten days ago, but I am ready for it now.

These last twenty-nine days of writing and posting everyday have been incredible. Thank you for indulging me in this recent #everydaystreak, (#runstreak, #everythingstreak), I know it has been a lot to see my emails come in every single day, and if you actually read them, wow, THANK YOU!

I took on this challenge to put the pressure on myself to write more often, (everyday is fairly often), and I did, so it worked!

I know I will continue to carve out time to write, (early in the morning, after training, before bedtime), but posting everyday is where I need to stop and reevaluate. The pressure for me to post, and for you to read is a bit much.

I will keep the blog going. In fact, I am confident that after jumping in the deep end of writing and posting everyday, switching back to doing it once a week will feel like a slam dunk. I love writing for this space, and there are plenty of amazing adventures and subtle observations coming up this year that I will definitely want to write about and share with all of you, but just like running, I need to dial in my pacing.

Thank you all for being such troopers these last twenty-nine days, and countless others over the years; I value our connection tremendously, and am grateful to have each of you in my corner for every challenge, every streak, every day.

The song and video choice today is from the defunct, but awesome band, New Radicals, You Get What You Give.
