Consistency is important when you continue to form a routine.  I officially secured first place for the sixth consecutive day in the WeWard competition, totaling 11.58-mile effort that concluded with 2,590 XP.  I even got a chance to watch the children have fun at the park with the new water machines.  It was a good way to keep myself cool.  To celebrate the achievement, I forewent the usual breakfast and opted for a neighborhood walk to the local IHOP in Kokomo.  There was a great reward waiting at the finish line.  I ordered a reward built for a runner: thick French toast, fluffy scrambled eggs, and two crispy slices of bacon.  Eating a hefty breakfast with the clear Indiana skies was a stellar way to recharge my spirit and celebrate a long week of patience and endurance.  I stayed patient by listening to my heart.
