Met the girls for a run this morning! I was expecting a sluggish run since I ran 3.5 yesterday but nope...this run felt fabulous!!! There were a few hills on the route but they didn't stop me and my friend Kelly! We really pushed it and ran pretty fast for a 3 mile run for me! This run was a great ending to the streak!!!
Yes...you heard me right...today is the last day of the #RWRunStreak!!! I've ran every day for 38 days!!! I cannot believe it!!!
I feel like a firework here! I'm so excited! And yes...I'm celebrating later today with fireworks...oh wait...those aren't for me are they??!!
Here are some pros and cons to streaking (in my opinion).
Pros:
- Running every day keeps you motivated
- You will get faster and stronger
- You learn how to run on tired legs
- It's a great way to motivate others
- It's FUN!!!
- Your legs are tired
- For me (since I have to run early in the mornings due to the heat) there's no sleeping late in the mornings
- Increased risk of injury
Me and my friend Paige made a little video this morning that shows my excitement about streaking!
So I challenge YOU to streak...even if it's for only a week...give it a try!!! If you decide to streak...please leave me a comment below...I would love to keep up with you and your streaking!!!
Happy Fourth of July everyone!!! God Bless the USA!!!
I'm on day 10. Yes my legs are tired. I am trying to not push do hard on core days, possibly even only going 1/2 mile those days. Would that count? A 5 minute run? Lol
ReplyDeleteOn another note, you rocked your 38 days. Why 38?
Larisa, running counts no matter what!!! So yes...1/2 mile is great! Thanks! I did my streak through Runner's World Magazine's Summer Streak...you were supposed to run at least a mile every day and you started on Memorial Day and ran until July 4th...so it was 38 days. Weird number I know but I guess they were just doing it so it would start and end on a holiday. Great job so far with your streak!!! Proud of you!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a little bit afraid to streak but for no particular reason! I ran yesterday and I'm at the gym today so I'll hop on the treadmill for a mile once I'm done with my weights. Then we will see how it goes!
