I've completed 9 days of 31 consecutive days of half marathons, everyday I take a picture of something inspirational/interesting on my run (easy on miami's south beach) but I also add a quote of the day, I'll probably use Mark Twain's quote today.


I ran xc/track in college, and I must say, that is likely a bad idea. You are going to hurt yourself, unless you've slowly built up to this. You should never increase your weekly mileage by more than 10% over the previous week. But don't take my word for it, I'm sure your body will let you know in the next week.


it's funny for the last week I have been running my last 8 with Robert "the raven" Kraft who is like the 6th or 7th leading streak runner - 8 miles a day for 42+ years, thru Miami hurricanes; heat/humidity; even hail. Nearly 120,000miles (just shy of 5x around the earth) and at 67 years old people are still waiting for him to stop just to say I told you so.


Yeah, I'm not saying it's dangerous to run 90 miles a week. It's dangerous to suddenly start running 90 miles a week.

Just looked that guy up though, I bet he's got some cool stories!
