This morning was a little different. My usual routine is to wake up at 5:20 am, say a quick prayer, then set up my ring light, fix my phone angles, put on my socks and shoes; it takes about 15–20 minutes, so I normally don’t get on the treadmill until 5:35 or 5:40. Today, though,…
Today’s run was the easiest so far, but of course, what’s a streaktember run without a little twist and drama? There always seems to be a curveball, and today was no exception.
