I wanted to quit The Streak this week. After running only 5 miles on Sunday because we spent the rest of the day moving, I didn't reach 50 until Wednesday. And then we drove to Ohio on Thursday for a family wedding - 10.5 hours. Like I said, I really just wanted to quit this goal even though it was week 29 (past the halfway point). But Jane wouldn't let me. "You have come so far. I am so proud of you. You can't quit."
The hotel was in downtown Akron, an area I am not familiar with at all. But the hotel fitness center was open 24 hours. So I woke up at 3 a.m. on Friday and Saturday to run down the goal and keep The Streak alive. Below is the breakdown in day, start time and distance. I know from experience if the running strategy is working, don't change it. So I stayed on the treadmill as the churning belt below continued to push another step forward. Here is the breakdown...
Friday
3:05 a.m. 5.03 miles
4:14 a.m. 5.12
5:34 a.m. 5.10
6:44 a.m. 5.10
7:57 a.m. 4.99
9:05 a.m. 5.07
Saturday
3:21 a.m. 4.11 miles
4:28 a.m. 4.85
5:42 a.m. 4.95

See you next week.
