Blog/Streak Update

Loyal readers (all 4 of you) -

I have some really terrible news. The streak is officially over.

Last night while running, I attempted to sprint a great distance (for me, thats about .25 miles) and in doing so took a nose dive on the sidewalk. Before I hit the pavement, my right ankle hit a yellow fire hydrant and it's now severely swollen. I could try to limp a mile during the healing process, but I just think its better to stop now and try to recover for my December 2nd marathon, the marathon in January, and the relay in February.
















Just kidding.....I am really sorry my blog sucks right now and I have little updates other than headlines. I know everyone is crushed by this.

The good news is I have no social life and have given up drinking until the streak is over so I might find some time to sit down and - in sober fashion - update the blog. This will happen before I die. I pledge to make it happen.

The great news is the streak is really alive and well. See the map below of my favorite run so far of the streak - an hour run in the dark early morning of El Cerrito, CA overlooking the SF/Oakland Bay area and Golden Gate bridge. The hills were awesome, it was 55 degrees, and I was in heaven. I ran really, really slow too. Going up a total of 830 feet and down a total of 830 feet.
