Greetings! 50 marathons in a year?! To me that’s as extreme as it gets. Believe it or not some folks add to the ante and run 50 marathons in fifty states in a calendar year. Still, the super extremists take it to the limit and spend a year running a marathon in a different state every week. For those of you doing the math, that’s 26.2 miles per race. Many avid runners only log about 25 miles per week. Running a marathon is no minor undertaking. Imagine going the distance, at a race pace, and then you only have a week to recover while training for the next 26.2 miles. You don’t have to take advanced biology to know the human body is not made for that sort of thing.
I have an obsession of my own and it’s a little more time and energy friendly. I affectionately call it The Streak. Though I don’t run a marathon a week, I do exercise every single day and have for over twelve 12 years without fail. In the blog entries to follow I intend to chronicle interesting events along the road and post insights on how The Streak relates to topics covering nearly every aspect of life.
Read, run and enjoy.
