After I hit my 1-year running streak last week, I honestly wasn’t sure how long I would continue to run every day. I know it’s not going to be until this baby is born (I’m 28 weeks pregnant), but I decided to keep it up this week.
Truthfully, it was easy. After being in New York over the weekend, running in Cleveland Monday through Wednesday wasn’t difficult. And then, we decided to take a short trip to Holmes County, Ohio – or Amish Country – which provided me another great change of scenery – including lots of FLAT land – making it easy to keep the streak up.
So I’m still streaking, this time on vacation, AND I even got in a few runs with my 4-year-old who ran his first mile this week! I’m so proud of him and he even helped me keep on moving. I know he would’ve gone faster if I wasn’t slowing him down these days!
Here’s what this week looked like:
Sunday: 4.06 miles
Monday: 4.3 treadmill miles
Tuesday: 5.6 miles
Wednesday: 4.66 miles
Thursday: 4.01 miles
Friday: 5.16 miles
Saturday: 3.6 miles
Total: 31.39 miles
Weeks Pregnant: 28
Running Streak: Day 373
Some questions for you:
- Do you enjoy running along country roads? City roads? Industrial or urban?
- Do you need a change of scenery sometime when running?
Linking up with Deborah and Kim for the Weekly Run Down.

Great job keeping up the streak! And that’s awesome that your son has been running! I sometimes wonder how long my 2 year old would run without stopping if i let him. Although he’s still in the phase where he just runs as fast as he can to get anywhere.
Those country roads look so serene! We have some similar roads nearby (I live near the edge of town), but ours are all gravel and hilly LOL Barb and I run them, though, for a change of scenery from time to time.
Love the look of those country roads! How cute that your little guy is off and running with you. Love it
Wow on your son! It’s great he likes to run. I’m wary of running on roads where I’m not familiar with the traffic pattern, but I do love a change of scenery. It’s a great way to explore and not be bored on your run.
Those roads from Amish Country are my dream running roads! So did your four-year-old run the entire mile without stopping??? I’m impressed and astonished. I could never get either of my kids into running. They are now 18 and 12, and neither one could run an entire mile. Sigh!
Congratulations on keeping up the streak!!!
Yes! He ran a 12 minute mile with me and then a faster one – with a stop – with my husband later! I was impressed. I didn’t really get into running until after 18, so there’s still hope for your kids!
You are doing great! Just keep listening to your body.
I love to mix it up. I’m also super lucky that I have a mix of options. I can run suburban/neighborhood. On Saturday, I ran a race through cabbage farms. Today, I ran a route between the intercoastal and the beach. We have trails and an urban option as well. It’s perfect.
That is awesome that you are still streaking!
Kudos to your son for running that mile! That’s a big deal!!
