A year of running every day :)

Stolly is your run of runs still unbroken? :) Well over 400 days now if so?

That was the day after the Borrowdale Fell Race which you did a week after your second BGR attempt (and still ran a good race) and from what I recall, you left most of the party way behind on the walk and I kept having to reign you in so that we didn't lose the weaker members! Words were muttered about mountain goats. Your energy amazes me (although I challenge you to stay awake through the whole of a film!:) ) I think you've successfully proved that unless you are dying, there is no excuse not to run every day if you really want to, it is down to choice and priorities. I worked out that I run an average of 5 times a week and the days I miss tend to be because I fancy a rest day or I want to concentrate on something else that day. It is always a choice and not because I couldn't fit in a run.

I still stumbled out for a run though.... albeit a short one!

Indeed Hes. And a run is a run, short or otherwise!!!
I think I've done about 3 runs under 2 miles during September... One was just because I had a really bad hangover :o

yes and well done on your daily running! :) I rarely run less than 4.5miles and if I have done it tends to be the days when I feel a bit crap but want to run anyway so just go for a shorty. You are right that it makes you feel better. It took me a long time to have faith that I might feel awful but just getting out for a few miles will make me feel so much better.

Whoops they're all merging into one :)

And onehill, yep still going

We're going to run every day in December. Four in four so far :closed:

Well done DT and Stef. I'm still trogging on and have even managed to scrape by with my running whilst suffering from flubonic plague and, more recently, a jolly bad cold with a tweaked hamstring on top :)

Is Harry on this unbroken run too?

Harry of course runs every day and, when my daughters are around as well, it can sometimes be two or three runs daily for him :)
