FACT. But I've also never had the desire to do one so there's that. ;)<br /><br />I was impressed with all your running. And your adorable outfits.

It was fun and it really took the edge off winter. I think the key is that we all need to Change It Up every once in a while, and the streak is the perfect way to do that. Plus it's fun to say that you're a streaker;-)Birchwood Piehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01504702778025456387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-71007708779409196812020-01-07T17:48:16.838-06:002020-01-07T17:48:16.838-06:00Hey, I get bored easily LOL I gotta mix it up with...Hey, I get bored easily LOL I gotta mix it up with different routes and funky clothing :-)Kim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-37183915407499805742020-01-07T17:47:31.447-06:002020-01-07T17:47:31.447-06:00Lent would be a great time to do a streak...it'...Lent would be a great time to do a streak...it's a time of self-reflection, and running is a perfect way of doing that.Kim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-19171508698715829262020-01-07T17:46:35.810-06:002020-01-07T17:46:35.810-06:00The first couple years of this, I was really bored...The first couple years of this, I was really bored, too, and it felt like a chore in the final week or so. That's why I make an effort to change the routes everyday, as well as vary the time of day I run. The past few years, it's gone well. Also, I have no desire to streak longer than that winter period. If I was training for a big race, it definitely would not be happening. You inspired me last spring to get outside every day...and I have. I get in at least one mile, every day, of doing something outside :-)Kim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-38577134141251110252020-01-07T17:40:49.339-06:002020-01-07T17:40:49.339-06:00Exactly :-) We all get to do this running thing on...Exactly :-) We all get to do this running thing on our own terms :-)Kim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-58580594800457444792020-01-07T17:39:53.398-06:002020-01-07T17:39:53.398-06:00I appreciate your comment about not limiting yours...I appreciate your comment about not limiting yourself...that's something we all should embrace! Like I said, I was a HUGE skeptic, until I gave it a try. I seriously doubt I'd ever go longer than that period between Thanksgiving and NYD, but at least I know it can be done without incident.

I don't like running daily but what I've often done is an "activity streak" where I get in some type of movement every day. That seems to work better for me since I can mix it up.KookyRunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03687318401455266836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-35425651474430225392020-01-07T06:26:55.218-06:002020-01-07T06:26:55.218-06:00It's not for me, but that's what makes the...It's not for me, but that's what makes the world interesting -- we all do our own thing & there's nothing wrong with that!<br /><br />We've been unseasonably warm with very cold days sprinkled in there too. Which means lots of black ice around . . . and too many runs on the mill.
