Streak-wise, today is the Day of Damien (day 666 in case you didnt get "The Omen" reference).
Last week was a moderately good week. I had hoped to get more miles in, but oh well. It didnt happen. Today is the official start day of my Half Marathon training. I am following a modified Pfitzinger 70/18 plan for marathon training - basically going to keep everything the same, but will probably max out my long run at 17-18 instead of 22.
So this week I should hit over 50 and stay there from now till February, when I hope to get a nice PR in the half marathon.
Barefoot running is getting better too - I ran a 3.6 miler today (my longest ever) with minimal discomfort. Not sure what is going to happen with the BF running when it starts snowing, I will probably move to Vibrams, but I am going to try to keep as much full Bare Foot running as possible and would love to get about half my mileage per week barefoot by the end of the year.
Hope all is well with everyone. Sorry about the chart. I may just take it down for a bit, because I just dont have time to update it lately, and NOvember is usually pretty busy for me.

I am still going strong although gearing up for NYC this weekend. I crossed the 2000 mile mark yesterday and now I just need to make it to 365 days on November 14. Feeling good for the most part with just a few hip and heel issues.
Hope everyone is doing well.

Out there running since dinosaurs roamed the earth
I fly.
If I get the flu or something, I'm done, but for now I'll keep going. It gets hard somedays when I would rather take a complete day off and not get out in the dark......

I'm at over 225. Not bad, but I've been wanting a break since my marathon. But truth be told, I'd miss running and know that I don't really want the break.
Bring it on.

I knew it wouldn't last forever and my streak ended at 139 days, I am planning to start again tomorrow when I get home.
Vacation got in the way. I spent most of the day Saturday in the car and the night in a motel without a fitness room. I wasn't willing to go out by myself in the dark in an area I was unfamiliar with. I did go out the next morning and it was fine. Day two of vacation was another day of mostly in the car and a night at a motel in the boonies with no fitness area and the only way to get a run in would have been along a narrow two lane highway with no shoulders. I did get one more run in this week, but haven't been in an area where I would be comfortable going out by myself and with no fitness room available no treadmill.
While it's been a fun vacation, I'll be glad to get home and back to my normal routine. One positive side effect is that my sore butt seems to be okay now.

Hello Streakers!
Today will be day 155! +1 to those that said if I get the flu, I'm probably done, but I'm streaking for now. I've run through a conference and a family vacation to Disney, so I gotta keep going!

Now, I ran through the flu a year and a half ago when I was only at about 100 days. Though I sometimes think I have more motivation to keep it going given that I am the administrator of this group - dont want to let you guys down.
