So yeah...

So, I wrote this huge long post this morning, but I'm just scraping it.

This is what it boils down to:

• I didn't run yesterday, for a variety of reasons.
• After a lot of reflection I have decided it's really, really difficult for me to complete this in a semi-practical way.
• The last time I tried this I was living alone. I could be as unpractical as I wanted. I ran at least one mile daily for 275 days in a row. Sometimes ridiculously early, sometimes ridiculously late, sometimes in ridiculous situations. It added up to 500.5 miles over the course of almost 9 months. I just forgot to run on the 276th day until after midnight and the rule was before midnight. So, I quit.
• I really don't want to quit this time just because I missed one day.
• I really don't want to start over and lose two months of running just because I missed one day.

So, here's my proposal: Yesterday was a grace day. I'm just going to keep running. I'm going to run twice tomorrow to make up for missing yesterday. Hopefully July 8th will be the only grace day I need. Maybe I've learned my lesson about planning (and following through) because I just cannot be running at midnight when I'm living with other people who have to put up with it. If I make it around to May 13th, 2010 and I'm still running and it's driving me crazy that I didn't have that one day, I can keep running on through to July 9. At least it's a plan. We'll see!
