Streaked.
Runners World initiated a running streak, encouraging runners to run a minimum of 1 mile a day from Memorial Day to Independence Day. Now, for me, the idea of running for 39 straight days was far from appealing, but, I also like a good challenge. I'm pleased to report that in 39 days, I ran each day, and, completed over 92 miles. All of this while training for my first sprint triathlon, so a healthy dose of swimming and cycling occurred over the 39 day span as well. I must admit that this challenge was beneficial, as my average time per mile decreased drastically, I completed the longest run that I can remember, and my running stamina improved. The days of struggling through 5k's are over. I will seek out 10k distances, and will target a half marathon soon. Thanks Runners World!
