Losing it


I had to take time off after 223 days in a row of running.  It looks like a bulging disc/arthritis causing back pain.  I’m a week off so far and just got a cortisone injection.  Hoping to be back out there in a couple of days.

The longest streak I’ve ever had was 1,179 days. I didn't miss a day from Oct. 20 1990 to Jan. 9 1994.  Minimum for a run is 3 miles.  

Mostly I just hate missing running and absolutely hate taking a day off, I’m really not aiming for a streak.

I do however actively pursue the “winning streak” I’ve got going.  Danny V and I both got our wins this year so those streaks continue!

Totals (through 09-08-19)
144,747 miles (average 9.73 miles per day)
Days off = 1,765 (average one day off every 8.4 days)
