    I had to google it...but I'm in! Sounds like a great way to keep up my running over the winter.

    Looks like a good idea but I'm not sure at this point if I'll be able to run every day....

    Yep, I'm in! I did the summer one and had a great time.

    I think streaking periodically gives me a better understanding, and appreciation for, "rest".

    It's also a great opportunity to knock some time off my mile time.

    I'll be streaking. I started a Runners World streak in the summer of 2012 when they did the usual summer streak that they do and I just never stopped. I'm right around 550 days right now.

    You can run your mile dressed (or undressed) however you want.

    I am also doing the challenge but with a twist. I am calling it the exercise streak instead of running streak . I haven't missed a day of exercise since thanksgiving morning. My husband and I ran 4 miles in 15 degree weather.

    Great job KJM! And everybody else! I'm still going strong and run about 3 miles every day now. I didn't take snow into consideration last week and all of a sudden scrammed to research running in snow and ice. Got me a pair of stabilicers and am happy with it. I haven't dropped a pound (fine with me) but people keep complimenting me on my "weight loss". I have to admit it was grueling coming in, but now I look forward to it. I'm not sure if I will keep it up after the new year. We'll see. Show us your cred if you're still on the streak!

    It's also a great opportunity to knock some time off my mile time.

    The streak is done!

    Total of 100.48 miles.

    Set new personal bests for distance (9.63 miles) and mile speed (8:14). And ran my first trail 5k.
