The 100th Day


What would be more appropriate than a heart.

 To do something everyday for 100 days. 

 It must be love. 

Biking Sherpa joined me last night for the second run on Day #99.

I didn't get here alone.  Even though I pride myself on being a minimalist when it comes to running, I must admit that there were a few things that aided me in avoiding injury while streaking for 100 days as I ran  heavy miles and raced.
 
 I will be reviewing a few of those products and giving you a chance to see if they can help you enjoy your running experience more too.  Can you say giveaway?
 
I do have one question for you today. 
The question is what do you think is next for me?
 
This might get you bonus entries into the upcoming giveaways so think about it and answer honestly.

  1. Those are some amazing stats! I am so proud of you.

    So what's up next? Here are my thoughts:

    1. 265 days more of running to make it a whole year.
    2. 100 miler (100 days, 100 miler - makes sense)
    3. An ice bath and a rest day.
    4. Something amazing.

  11. Congrats on 100 days!

    Every ones else's comments of another 265 days sounds like something you'd consider. Knowing how much you're itching to race though, I could see you finding a really nice race to do in the next few months, and building to that!

  14. Awesome job. I think you need to rest for a bit but I think the 100K run is next on the list for you. Think about it; you've got that drive and power.

  17. More than the 100 consecutive days, I am blown away by your total mileage! More than 700 miles?! I haven't run that much so far this YEAR!

  18. CONGRATULATIONS!!! My advice? Your muscles need some rest! :) I ALWAYS take a day or two off per week to recover from long runs or speedwork. I don't know how you do it, but be careful! ;)

    Thanks for visiting my blog. Hey- I LOVE LOVE LOVE the photo at the top of your blog. BEAUTIFUL!!! I just returned from a vacation to a lake house in Wisconsin - it reminds me of my runs there.

  19. now that I think about it... YOUR photo is VERY similar to the one I use at the top of my blog... back of us running with our dogs. pretty funny, huh?

  20. Not only is the 100 days impressive, but so is the average mileage per day! Way to go!

  21. Congrats on making it to 100 days. I'm not surprised because running is something you really love doing. What's next? I'm tempted to say a rest day, but it doesn't suit you. With the race moratorium it probably isn't another ultra (even though a race is what my money would be on if I bet). So, I'm going to go with...more running. Double the days or triple the days and soon you've run every day for a year. I can't wait to read what you've got in store next.
