that it seems to get easier to keep the streak going the farther you get into it? First off is that running every day is now just part of my routine, I dont even really have to think about it any more. But second, and probably even more important, is that I find myself getting out on the hard days because I realize all the time I have put into building up to my 170+ days and realizign that I will have to start over if I miss a day. Just my note for those that have had to start their streaks over - I think that the farther into it you get, the easier it is to find the time to throw in a mile when you just need to get it in.

I'm currently following a marathon training program (week 6) it called for a dayoff last Monday . NO WAY went out and did 2.6km. Not that the streak is more important than the Marathon I'm training for, but an easy couple of Km's sure wasn't going to change anything. So I wasn't about to stop.

I did/do. My longest streak was like 135 days and it was normally no problem getting a run in. However, I still like to try and plan ahead as I normally have a pretty hectic schedule.

This was the exact analogy I used just this morning when I was telling someone about my running streak. And here I thought I was being oh-so-creative with that analogy.

Don't fret just put it down to great minds thinking alike
