Greetings! It’s that
weird time of year for me. I never feel concerned about preserving The
Streak. I get up each day knowing it will happen, just as it did today
before the sun made its daily appearance over the horizon. However, in the last
week before the anniversary the days and hours seem ominous.
Next Monday will mark the 17th
Anniversary of unbroken consecutive days of at least 30 minutes of exercise, The
Streak. I don't have a grand plan for the day. It's always fun when
the anniversary falls on weekends as I do these long drawn out exercise
routines in combination with lengthy runs. I imagine the weather will dictate
how I exercise and for how long this coming Monday. I feel certain exercise
will happen one way or another.
I am always appreciative of the
folks who so kindly tolerate this long standing practice of mine, foremost
among them, Shannan. I thank all of you who have run with me over the years and
the many who regularly ask about The Streak.
I read that the fellow who had the
longest running streak in the U.S., at least a mile a day, ended his 45 year
streak in 2013 due to severe pain in his foot. To surpass his mark, I have
thirty (30) more years to go. Wow, I thought 17 years was a long time. The
truth is I can't imagine a life without The Streak.
Long Live The Streak!
Keep running.
Tom
