I have been a bad blogger as of late: I haven't been posting much or reading and commenting much, but that's because life has been busy, not because I'm not running. In fact, as of today's 3 miler, I have logged 82 consecutive days of running.
At this point, you can probably guess that I have my eye on 100 days, but we'll see. I'm trying not to be too restrictive in my goals right now.
I've discovered that streaking is no different from a typical running schedule: Some days you love running and are eager to get out there and do it, and other days, you feel like skipping it. The difference -- for me -- is that with the streak, even when I don't feel like it, I still go out and do it. So, if nothing else, I think streaking has instilled a new kind of discipline in me.
That, or it just speaks to the power of habit, I don't know.

Just say it - you are a running junky!
Wow, that's great! I'm almost inspired to try streaking myself.
21 days 82 days, whatever it takes......
I'll get your 100 Days of Running Club shirt ready now!!!
Dang 100 days would be quite the accomplishment! Way to go with sticking to it!
Wow, I can barely make a week... 100 days would be 0_O. Awesome!
Good luck on getting to 100. Just 2,000 more after that to reach 2,100 days. Cheers!
yipes 100! - my legs hurt thinking about it!
Impressive!! I am thinking about doing a workout streak (swim, bike or run) once my race season is done.
Something to keep me motivated!!
Great job continuing the streak!
Keep at it - you are right behind Ron Hill and his 45 year long streak!
I can totally realate to being busy and trying to fit it all in! Don't worry - blog world doesn't ever leave!
Good job on the runs - when I run for 6-7 days straight, I always feel guilty on my next rest day. I think it speaks to our love of the run AND our inablity to give up!
So, on your 100th day are you gonna really "streak" HAHAHA! Great job!! keep at it!
Wow, 82 days already! 100 is definitely within reach!
keep the streak alive!
Go you! That's a long time to go without clothes!
Funny Jess - I'll be trying to run to this tomorrow:

82 days is a serious streak! Enjoy it!
I understand what you mean. I feel the same way when I'm training for a race - even if I don't want to run, I do it anyway.
Color me impressed. I could see myself eating ice cream for 82 cons. days but not exercising! :)
Good job on the streak. I think the things you said about discipline on the run are so true. People think we runners love it everyday. While I do love it, I will be the first to say it is not always easy to get out the door for a run. It takes discipline, for sure!
great job- keep it up!
