50 shades of streaking

Some interesting notes from my first 50 days of streaking -

--> Total miles - 193.39

--> Average miles per day - 3.87

--> I haven't let heatstroke, massive hangovers, triple digit temperatures, migraines, or inclement weather stop the streak.  Even terribly sore quads after Rock n Sole didn't keep me down.  Each time I think about stopping the streak, all I have to think is, "The day after Ragnar, when I could barely see straight and felt awful, I STILL managed to sneak a run in at the end of the day."

--> The above makes me think that I am invincible.

--> I'm more motivated to get up before work to run in the cool when it's hot as balls outside.  I think starting with the little 1 mile runs to fulfill the streak helped clear my head for the longer run days when I have to get up at 5am.  This is a good thing, because I am no longer melting or dying in the heat when I get my runs done early.  That, and I have more time to watch trashy TV after work... like NOW.

--> I do massive amounts of laundry.

--> I charge my Garmin at least once a week, sometimes twice, and my ipod as well.  Usually I could get close to 2 weeks out of them.

--> I've started eating breakfast again.  (Ok, so it's Cocoa Pebbles, but it still counts, right?)

--> It's FUN!...

--> ...and I'm not stopping anytime soon!
