Today is Day 25 in my challenge. I slipped up once this week, but made it up by running an extra mile the next day. So I’ve run the equivalent of more than a marathon…it’s just taken me 25 days to do it! My knees are not very happy with me and I think I’ll be switching back to speed walking or elliptical training after the challenge is over. My right one has been “clicking” more loudly than normal; I’m guessing that’s not a good sign. And also a good reminder as to why I gave up running a few years ago. My body just says “no bueno”.

In other news, it is almost time for Habitat for Humanity to start up again and I’m so excited. I love participating in the home builds and leading other volunteers. I almost feel guilty when I leave because of the immense satisfaction and fulfillment I get each time I’m there. If you’ve never spent a day helping to build a new home, I highly recommend it.
