Forums >General Running>2014 Holiday Running Streak
Here we go again, holidays are around the corner. Who's in this year?
The rules: run at least 1 mile (for us who run in km that's 1,6 km, but let's say 2 km, 'cause it looks prettier) from Thanksgiving to New Years Day ( Nov. 27th to Jan. 1st ). If you fall off the wagon, you jump right on again! Your December mileage should beat the previous highest monthly mileage in 2013.
This is the link to last year's topic, run by xhristopher: 2013 Holiday Running Streak.
Last year I joined in just to see if I could pull it off. Well, you can take a look at my log to see how that went .
I'm in. Pulling off my highest milage month in December for the third year in a row will be a tall order but I need to get something legit due to the fact that I'm running the Goofy Challenge in January and I don't plan to jog it.
xhristopher - Also running the goofy races this year in Disney, I'm only doing the 5, 10 and half though. I also need to get my butt in gear so the experience isn't miserable. Last year this holiday streak was the best running of my year, so I am in again too!

I'm in! I've never done this before, but I am looking to do a 50 in May, and this will encourage me to not slack off after finishing NYC. My last 50, I had a running streak leading up to it and it went well, so I'm looking forward to streaking again.
2015 Goal:For now, keep running!

Wow, you just continued last year's holiday streak and kept it going into this one! Awesome job!
The day after XC Nationals could be a problem, but I'm in!
Thanks for doing this Jancika!
Wow! Yeah, you are the right person to run this thread. Don't go easy on anyone.

I'm in! I haven't been able to do this the past two years because I had a long-long race in the middle of it, and I knew I wouldn't be to run after it. I won't be doing my highest mileage month because I'm starting Pfitz.
Thanks, Jancika!

Thanks Jancika.
I'm in. Though I sincerely doubt that I will best my highest month.

I'm in. I started with this last year and since my body isn't complaining, I'll just keep going.

The streak part should be doable. I've got a 4th of July one going now.
The highest monthly mileage part will be a challenge. I'll need 240. But if I can pull that off it will also put me over 2 grand for the year. After a weak start in the early months, that would be a nice accomplishment for this year.
Thanks for the push Jancika.

I'm in. Holiday schedules and races are going to be quite disruptive to my normal monotonic mileage-grinding days, I need this to keep my streak going
I'll join for the streak, but I can't commit to besting monthly mileage. For me it will be enough just to do it every day. :-)
