100 Days.......

On May 2^nd of this year, I logged a 10 mile run on the treadmill. It was nothing special just another run...... I had no idea that it would be the start of a 100 day – 700 mile runstreak. Not sure why I would start a “streak” considering the knee issue that showed up during the Ouachita 50 miler two weeks prior and had been slowly healing. Guess it just kind of happened.

Here is a breakdown mileage per run.....

3 miles 19x

5 miles 42x

6 miles 13x

8 miles 2x

10 miles 12x

12 miles 4x

14 miles 1x

15 miles 3x

16 miles 1x

19 miles 1x

53 miles 1x (logged as 20 and 33 miles. Fri. night – Sat. morning)

and several “junk” miles.... (Oh yeah, every 10^th counts....)

Total = 700 miles in 100 days

This includes a few 5k's and 10k's. Nothing really noteworthy other than the 53 mile Relay For Life track run and the Sprint Tri back in July. Notice this was a “run” streak- nothing about swimming or cycling. That is because I don't see a need to properly train......

It was pretty cool to hit exactly 700 miles on the 100^th day. Even cooler that my “lifetime” mileage (Since Jan. 16^th 2006) hit 9,500 at the same time. But the streak will not end at 100 because my logbook is sitting at 1,494 miles, there will definitely be a 101^st day to this streak.

I have been putting one shiny quarter in a jar for each day of the streak which I will donate to the American Cancer Society when the streak officially ends. It's up to $25 now..... anybody want to match it? Let me know......
