Streak! May 9 & 12 = never missed running on these days

May 9 & May 12 are two weirdly significant dates in my running. Through a quirk of fate, I have never missed running on those two days. The other 364 days I’ve missed at least once in the more than 43 years of running.

May 9 – longest run = 19 miles, shortest run = 3 miles.
May 12 – longest run = 17 miles, shortest run = 3 miles.

I’ve averaged over 9.6 miles per day since I started running in December of 1978.  I’ve got five other days I’ve only missed once (May 8, 11, 15, and March 26 & 28).  I’ve also got 10 days that I’ve only missed twice (Feb 6 & 11, March 12, 25, & 31, and April 3, 8, 9, 16, and 21)

Most popular date to not run:
Feb 23, July 23, Oct 31, Nov 19, and Dec 30 = 10

All in all, it seems pretty random.  November has my most days off with 206 and May has the least with 96.
