Streaks!

Why do so many of us care about streaks?  How many days can we work without missing a day?  How many wins or losses in a row?  How many days in a row can we exercise?  How many days in a row can we run?  Some people put a lot of stock in streaks.  I think it is absolutely incredible how some people can put together years of running streaks.  I have run a lot of miles over the years, but have always had trouble putting together a consecutive day streak.  My best was during 2009 and part of 2010.  I managed 408 days.  Over my running career, however, my usual consecutive day streaks have been in the 100 to 150 range.  I do have one streak that I am a bit proud of though.  I have run over 2000 miles a year for 24 years in a row.  With my knee surgery last June I thought this one would have ended, but somehow with a strong November and December, I reached that magic number.  Can I make it 25?  We will see.

Nothing to do with running, but it looks like we sold the townhome today.  Yeah!!!  Had to come down on our price, but that was to be expected in this economy.  Now we just have to see if they will adjust the closing date so we don't have to pay an extra month's mortgage payment.
