Running Streaks

 Running Streaks are probably not the healthiest thing for runners but I am always looking for things to keep me motivated as I get older.  Lifetime PR's are way behind me at this point and I started the current streak to see how long I could make it.  As I passed one year I thought maybe I could get my second longest.  Let"s see if I can stay healthy to get to 1474 days in a row.
