171: a good streak

My running streak is kind of what is keeping me going right now. I'm at 59 days today. Again, I know it's not much in the way of streaks, but it's huge for me. I plan to run tomorrow before heading to Portland to make it an even 60 days and then force myself to rest. My body is feeling this streak - in both the positive of having a great base and strength and the negative of starting to hurt - and I want to feel fresh for next weekend's race. I'm going to force myself to take it easy next week - not as many miles but go hard on the miles I do run. But I am thankful that I've been able to have a streak to keep me motivated (it may have been more of a slight addiction) and that I was able to stay healthy while doing it.
