Day 335....That light at the end is blinding me!!

I am reposting my first day of running post: Running...Day 1....700 miles to go.... Was actually super excited for today to get here....wanted to start this year and goals off with a bang. And I did. 5 miles complete, me, 5 miles. I never would have thought I could do it, or more importantly that I ever would want to do it. I cranked up some tunes and just ran with no goal, just ran. At mile 3.7 it got a little crazy as the trash man passed me and I had to beat him to my house to get the trash to the curb. Who would have thought that they would be working today?? Certainly not me, so I ran really fast from 3.7-4.1 and got the can to the curb, had a quick drink, noted all 3 kids were still sleeping and hit the pavement again. At this point I was pretty sore so my run was more of a jog and I just did what I could. At 5 miles I decided I would still like to be able to walk tomorrow so I stopped and walked about 1/3 of a mile. So as Jack so perfectly noted, I now have 695 miles to go in my goal. Tomorrow is another day! Happy New Year! And here I am, almost complete. As of today I have run 673.7 and walked an additional 118 that I have logged. I never would have dreamed that I could accomplish something like this, it seemed too big. Now my husband and kids are all asking me every day how much closer are you? I'm planning on hitting the 700 and flying right on by....On to next year....What's the next challenge? I'm up for suggestions!
