Living in Philly, I’m blessed as far as weather goes.  When I read of my online running friends tackling snow and ice and ridiculously low temps, I feel lucky to be in my comparative comfy cocoon of moderate weather.  Occasionally there’s an under-20 day, but few and far between.

So I’ve no right to complain that the next 5 days are set to be colder than usual and windy.  Though it does annoy me that I should notice this the day after I decide that I’m in the midst of a mini running streak.  No avoiding those frigid temps now.

As far as the streak goes, I’m only on day 9, which is my usual stopping place when I keep running and don’t need a day off.  I’m thinking 14 days will do it for this first one, give me a taste of what it’s like to run 7 days/week.  Not that I’m planning on going that route soon, but it’s always in the back of my mind as a potential inevitability (how’s that for an oxymoron?).

But who knows…when (if) it comes to a point where I really want to get serious about goals, I’ll probably morph into a “run until I need a day off” type of person.  For now, let’s see how 14 days feels.
