Good Bad & The Monkey
So, as y'all know I am not currently streaking.
Thank goodness.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
I fly.
Bring it on.

I kept up my streak at the 1 mile level through an illness like that and I think that is why 2 months later I am still not healthy. Rest up monkey man.
MTA: it is also likely that the get out of bed slump in my chair while staring at the treadmill, run, crawl back in bed is what triggered my back/hamstring issue.

What would you have done if you were in the middle of a streak and, like I had to deal with the other day, you were so sick with influenza that a walk to the bathroom resulted in the need to sleep the effort off for 45 minutes?
If this was the case, I probably would have ended my streak. I have run a few days sick but just a bad cold and not influenza. Hope you are feeling better!

First, I must preface my response with: I am an idiot.
I would run at least a mile a day, regardless. I have done this already a few times, and so far I am not the worse for wear. Your mileage may vary.

I'm with mlybrand, an idiot. With just over 100 days before my personal 1 year of streaking goal I am focusing on that end.. At this point it would need to have me bed ridden to prevent at least 1 mile.
If you asked me this question on January 1 of next year though, I suspect it would be a different answer
Get well soon Trent!

Feeling mostly better.
To be clear, I could barely walk to the bathroom. It was bad.
Out there running since dinosaurs roamed the earth

I blame Trent

I had the flu really bad last year during my streak. What I did was waited it out and got my one mile run in at the point that I felt the best (not that I felt good by any means, but when I felt the "best" that day). I was dizzy and staggering a little for the whole mile, but I got it in. then I went back home and slept again and did the same thing the next day cause the flu wasnt gone.
I just kept telling myself - its only a mile, less than 10 minutes and I'll be back in my bed.
