What is the reason?

I use to get asked several questions about my tics.  These questions all boiled down to: "Why do you do that?" or "Can you stop do that?"  The answers sounded something like: "I don't know." and "No, I can't stop."  The ticing was something I just did.  I couldn't control them and there was no reason as to why I ticed (that I knew of prior to being diagnosed with Tourettes).

In the last post I stated I was going to post daily to build a habit.  I did not post yesterday and that is because I had no reason to post.  I did not want to post just to post.  Today I have a reason I want to use Sunday as the day I post my weekly mileage.  I have set out to log, or tic away, a combined total of 2,000 miles running and cycling.

This week I have logged 9.7 miles running and 10.1 miles cycling.

Since January 1, 2014 I have logged:
Running - 95.8
Cycling - 99.4
Total - 195.2/2,000

Almost 10% of the way to my goal!!

I use Strava to track all of my runs and rides.  You can follow me on my Strava Dashboard.

To answer the question in the title. The reason I tic is because I have Tourettes and the reason I post is because I have something to say.
