Holiday Streak: Done

Winter break in a nutshell:

Lots of sitting on the couch and reading during the day, watching movies at night.  Tomorrow it's back to the grind.

Today I finished the Runner's World Holiday Streak with a simple 1.5 mile run.

Of course, I'm planning to just keep going and streak all of 2014.  I'm also planning to hit 2,014 miles, and will keep track of each day's total on a calendar.  

Only 2,012.5 to go.

Streak Day #29

Welcome to my roof.

Yes, I'm still streaking.  Day 29 today since Thanksgiving.  1.5 miles around Knight Park.

There have been days when the last thing I wanted to do was go out and run, even if only for a mile, but for the most part it hasn't been terrible.

For now, I'm planning to streak all of 2014.  So, once I start bumping up the mileage again, it may be a different story.

Streak Day #11

Started running around 11am and was immediately caught in a snow storm.  I ran by the Cooper River and couldn't see past the white to the other side.  The snow kept getting in my eyes while running.  By the time the snow finished this afternoon, there was about half a foot on the ground.  Glad I got my run in while I could.

I ran 4.5 miles today, the longest since the marathon exactly three weeks ago.  Can't believe it's only been three weeks.  Feels like worlds ago.

Streak Day #10

Ran 3.5 miles, partially along the Cooper River this morning.  Haven't gone above 3.5 since the marathon.

When I got home, Santa was standing outside of the garden center near our apartment advertising the Christmas trees.  So I asked if I could get a picture with him.

Streak Day #4

Ran for 3 miles this afternoon, then joined Stevie for a late night 1.5 mile run just before bed.

I love living on the main street of our town.  It's all lit up at night for the holidays and makes for a nice, short run.

2013 Holiday Streak

Frank the Tank tells it like it is.

Runner's World has once again issued the challenge to run every day between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day in what they call the Holiday Streak.  Minimum distance is 1 mile.  That's about all there is to it.

I actually started two days before Thanksgiving.  I've never streaked before.  Well, I've never done a running streak at least.  We'll see how long I can last.

You in?
