Day 5 in the books for me. Just did a little over a mile tonight. Swim this afternoon took a lot out of me. Pushing my bike ride until tomorrow night and might just wake up early to bang out my mile in the AM.

One of the best things I did when starting my run streak was to break up my current weekly miles and distribute them throughout the week so I was running at least one mile every day at the same total weekly milage.  My long run took a hit but it was ok since I didn't have any major races on the horizon.  I've been working my long run back up now that my daily run is established.  Now, the daily mile is no big deal.

Have you noticed any significant difference since you began you streak? Awesome accomplishment!

Thank you! 

I had a metatarsal stress fracture at the beginning of the year.  I took about 10 weeks off running.  Since I've been back to running, I haven't done any (zippo, zilch) speed training.  My paces are almost back up to where they were pre-strees fracture.  I think the streaking is helping my body build durability back up.  I'm not sure what is going to happen when I add speed training back.  I imagine my race paces will get faster.

Day 8 - 8 hours after day 7. My son (2 1/2 years old) decided out of the blue he didn't want to sleep last night, so I got about 3 hours of sleep. Figured since I was up I would go for my run. Not many people out at 4:25 in the morning!

#129 - 3.3 miles. I was short on time and I'm behind my mileage goal for the week, so I decided to make this morning a fast one...ok, a less slow one. Would you believe it was the dog slowing me down today?
