Today, New Year’s Day, was the last day of the Runner’s World winter run streak from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day. I wasn’t planning on participating, but I decided to, kind of on a whim, when some members of Delmarva Moms Run This Town were taking part. I’m glad I did — it kept me motivated to run and it definitely got me out there on days I didn’t really feel like running.
I am training for a marathon, so the streak did include six long runs, ranging from 13.1 miles to 20 miles. I was able to run in a variety of places during this streak. Thankfully, the weather was pretty nice during the streak, and I had lots of cool people to run with.
Here’s a rundown of the streak, by the numbers:
39: Number of days the streak lasted
195.49: Number of miles I ran during the streak
5.01: Average number of miles run per day
20: Longest run mileage in a day
1: Shortest run mileage in a day
