With all these new members arriving lately, I was just wondering how everyone ended up here. How did you find our little (but growing) group? Did you stumble upon it? Did you see a link? Did someone recruit you?
Well, I started the group, but got into "Streaking" when I stumbled upon the www.runeveryday.com website and I thought it might be cool to do that and see my name up on their list. I started out with my normal 4 runs a week routine, and then instead of taking days off I just substituted an easy mile. now almost a year and a half later (a year and a half is on 6/30/09) I am running 8-10 miles a day with only one day a week where I tone it down and do 2-4 miles. I have dropped over a minute off my 5K PR and over 45 minutes off my marathon PR in the past year so I think streaking works.
I found out about in in our Ladies Locker Room group. After everyone ugred me to log my treadmill warmup runs before strength training, "because every run counts". I have made a consistent effort to run at least a mile daily, and enjoy an occassional longer run on the weekends. Most everyone knows that I had a nasty calf tear last summer leading up to my first Half Marathon, and This is the most running I have done since that time. It feels great, I love that I am NOT training for anything, and purely enjoying running again. It does not hurt that my paces have dropped significantly since losing about 20lbs of fat off of my body, and getting stronger with weight training.

Last Race: Portland Maine Half Marathon October 5 2014
Then I posted about it on the general board and several of you told me to come here! Yeah.
Somehow I missed it in the LLR, probably because I have been an infrequent poster/reader.
Loving it!!!

I read about it in LLR. They were all so excited about it I had to give it a try. Darn it, if I hadn't missed those days I was sick my graph would be almost full.
I ran this afternoon 95f to make sure I got my run in. I certainly would not have done that if not for this.
I also heard about it from the Ladies Locker Room...
OK, just kidding... I saw the ESPN special on The Raven a couple of years ago and decided to give it a try. I found this group shortly after I signed up on Running Ahead and it has been an excellent find...very motivating.
You laugh, you wouldnt be the first spy we would have to torture and kill.
