It's nice to know that you are still doing your daily runs. Unfortunately as we get older, those important activities seem to go by the wayside. I know there are some of those exercises that I used to do religiously that seem to have gone by the wayside. Keep it up.
There are some days when it is really hard. I started going out for regular exercise over 14 years ago. The intention being to go out every other day, but it is too easy to miss a day (pulled muscle, etc.) and then that was 1 day in three.
Then I made a pact with myself not to miss a day, early days was run and walk, gradually I was running further than I walked. The next pact was to run every day and run all of the way no walking for as long. First target a week, next a month, then 1/4 of a year, 1/2 a year, then a year.
So far I have achieved that, now it isn't a monthly target but to do it a long as I can, so far I have run every day for 440 days and daily exercise (walk/run) for 3526 days.
Hopefully come May 18 this year I will have done 10 years without missing a day. But that isn't a given I have things coming up that could put a spanner in the works.
It was my birthday today 73 years young-ish.
