I've been about as inconsistent as could be lately with my running. Earlier in the year I was consistently running 5 days a week, then 4 days, then 3 days, and you get the picture.... This morning I saw a FB event for a holiday streak which calls for running at least 1 mile per day, every day in December. I "joined" the event immediately and will use the challenge to right my program. I plan to start Monday morning (11/25/13) and go at least to New Years Day. I will post here daily to keep myself honest and accountable.
Feel free to join in if you'd like.
General encouragement welcomed!
Harsh criticism accepted if I fail.
*edit: Just for clarification, the 1 mile is an absolute minimum. There is a 2.5 mile loop in our neighborhood that I plan to do daily.
Running for TJ because he can't.
These days, my streaks are counted in continuous miles run, not days.
Good luck, the 1 mile a day minimum sounds doable.
Good luck, Robert! Don't forget to check in with us to let us know how it's going!

Day 1 - 2.13 miles done.

I've been really inconsistent since my first half two months ago, but a lot of that is due to life - a trip to Japan, a school camp, lots of work and some family stuff too. I'd love to give this a try, but last time I tried to streak I only made 6 days. How pathetic is that? I'm worried that my body will need a day off. I guess that's the one mile days.
I will think about starting a streak from the start of December, perhaps.

I'm not a huge fan of streaks but they can be useful as a means to break out of the doldrums. I've been in a slump since my marathon two weeks ago. Last week, I was sore and didn't run much but that was intentional. This past week, I was just lazy.
Short term goal: 17:59 5K
Mid term goal: 2:54:59 marathon
Long term goal: To say I've been a runner half my life. (I started running at age 45).
Give us some more info on you so that we can heckle. Just kidding good luck.
There is a streak on here as well. Thanksgiving to New Years.
Mmmmm...beer
Good luck Robert! I did it last year and it definitely helped keep me motivated.

Count me in. I went for a run today.
Day 2 .... 2.11 miles
Well, day 3 was a bust due to rain.
Got back at it this morning and got in 4.6 miles. Like I said, it's more about the discipline than the streak.
Another 3.4 in the books.
I think this is a good idea when in a slump. I just finished HM 4 and have been sort of in one myself. For me, it helps to have races to look forward to. I try to sign up for aa many as my schedule will allow in a six month span. Good luck! This my friend is a great reason to buy more running gear.
Running is my mental-Ctrl-Alt-Del.
Exactly what I've been looking for this morning. 3 weeks ago, it was no more HMs for me. I think I've found my next one...
