Forums >General Running>Holiday Running Streak
She laughs at me......
I'm running a minimum of 1 mile a day. I want to build my miles back up to 25 or so a week. That would be easy if I put my running shoes on more than 1 or 2 times a week like I have been for most of the last year.
I started early, so this is day 6 for me. I plan on keeping this up past the holidays.

I had already started because for the past couple years I just havent been able to like running. But I miss loving running. I know the point of view of streaking becoming bigger than an injury or an illness, but my problem for the last 2 years at least is I take a day off because I just dont feel like running and that day turns in to 3 months. Plus my chronic problems seem to do better with at least a little every day.
I had done 100 days a few years ago and really enjoyed it. I had tried streaking last year but got hung up on the fact that my first 100 day streak averaged 6.9 miles a day, and I couldnt do that. But I was close enough to try and burned myself out. Now I am so phenomenally out of shape that I am happy with 1. 1 is good.

I used this log over a year ago and started again this week. I had a streak of 10 days with 58 miles logged. Last month I ran 40 something.
I'm Cindy, btw.
ran 3.25 around the area this afternoon, think I hit every traffic light lol.

This is my second year doing the streak. Today is the first official day, but I also ran yesterday and Tuesday, so this would actually be my third day running in a row now. My normal RD's are Monday and Friday, so forcing myself to run on those days could be challenging after a while.

Same here, but raw apathy has been the norm for me most of this year. Amazing what just getting out there and oh-so-slowly trotting around for a couple miles will do for the rest of your day.

Man, I would love a little every day.
Ok then.
Wait. Sorry.
I forgot that we had guests this week.

is it too late to join in (and also be a day late - starting tomorrow am?) I need something to help me stay focused with the coming cold temps!

Yeah, count me in too. A little extra motivation to keep going on those crummy weather days can't be a bad thing.
And got my run in for today already.

Count me in. Will keep my focused through the holiday seasion, and as the cold weather sets in
I'm 4 days into my streak. Might as well keep it up through 1/1.
Wait. Sorry. I forgot that we had guests this week.
Guests leave. If they are here to stay they might as well see it like it is. No bait and switch here.
I'm in. I'm having a hard time getting motivated these days - and I'm a body in motion stays in motion kind of runner...
Seanv2 - I changed my screen name back to Montco, because it is too damn long as my full name, Rob Montgomery. Just thought I'd let you know in case you wanted to edit that first page.
